Diplolepis polita, known generally as the spiny leaf gall wasp, is a species of gall wasp in the family Cynipidae. It was first described by William Harris Ashmead in 1890.[1]
This species induces galls on several species of wild roses in North America, including Rosa arkansana and Rosa acicularis.[1][2] The galls are formed on the leaves in spring and early summer and are spherical with short spikes.[1]
