Striatoandricus is a genus of Neotropical gall wasps (Cynipidae).[1] There are six described species, four of which were formerly included in Andricus.[1][2] The genus is morphologically similar to Andricus but are not closely related phylogenetically.[1] The genus is named after the striations on the metasomal segments and its superficial resemblance to Andricus.[1]
All species induce galls on oaks in which their larvae live and feed.[1]
