Besbicus is a genus of gall-inducing cynipid wasp found in North America.[1] Several species now classed as Besbicus were formerly considered to be a part of the genus Cynips.[2][3] Besbicus was originally described as a subgenus by Alfred Kinsey in 1929.[4] Circa 2010, one group of entomologists noted that it was "possible that the nearctic genera Antron and Besbicus were erroneously synonymized to Cynips".[5]
