Clarify species name and make articles consistent
[edit]The Wikipedia article on the Garry oak, Quercus garryana, mentions one gall wasp specifically, Cynips maculipennis, but that isn't listed here. Bugguide.net (not always comprehensive) lists six species in the U.S. and Canada, not including maculipennis, and including only Cynips mirabilis, the speckled gall wasp, as found in Garry oak territory in the Pacific Northwest (Bug Guide and the Cynips article seem to be consistent). My guess is that C. maculipennis and C. mirabilis are the same species. I'd appreciate confirmation of that and learning which is the more authoritatively accepted name.
