Cyclocynips is a genus of oak gall wasps in the family Cynipidae.[1] Species in this genus form galls on various Fagaceae in the Eastern Palearctic. The genus is named after its host association with oaks in the section Cyclobalanopsis.[1]
Species are currently only known from their asexual generation, and it is unknown whether members of this genus are heterogonic.[1]
Existing species have been reared from galls on Quercus longinux and Quercus glauca.[1]
