Type-species: Rhodites arefactus Gillette. Desig. by Rohwer and Fagan, 1917. 



Produce galls on Rosa. It is unfortunately true that the bulk of the literature about this 

 genus used the generic name Rhodites. There is some sentiment for asking the Commission to 

 place Rhodites on the list of conserved names, but no such proposal has been presented. As the 

 years pass and literature accumulates using the name Diplolepis, the likelihood of such a 

 proposal being made to the Commission becomes increasingly less likely.
