AB Morphological differentiation of gall tissues induced on plants may play a role to characterize the real taxonomic positionof the gall inducer. We verified this hypothesis with galls induced by Rectinasus buxtoni on Pistacia palaestina. There iscontroversy about the taxonomic localization of genus Rectinasus: in one classification it is situated with the genera Fordaand Paracletus while in another it is linked to the genera Geoica and Baizongia. Histological examination of the walls ofthe galls reveals the presence of two opposed vascular bundles and an inner surface of the gall with cavities. These featuresplace Rectinasus in the same group as Geoica and Baizongia, and not with Paracletus and Forda, whose galls have a differenthistological structure, as generally admitted.
