Callirhytis congregata, formerly Andricus congregata, the sausage flower gall wasp, is a species of hymenopteran that induces galls on the catkins of coast live oaks, interior live oaks, and canyon live oaks in California in North America.[1][2] This wasp is considered locally common.[2] William Harris Ashmead described Andricus congregatus as producing a gall like a "rugose, yellowish brown woody swelling, containing numerous cells growing apparently from the extreme tips of very slender twigs of Quercus chrysolepis, the gall appearing to have a long peduncle".[3]
