I think this is in the family Cynipidae, perhaps the tribe Cynipini, and the maybe the genus Acraspis.
I think this was on Quercus ilicifolia, however it could be Quercus prinoides.

Beautiful! Very similar to this: http://bugguide.net/node/view/425655
Thank you, Martin, ForestDragon, and Leuba.
Very nice, J ! I wish our galls here were as interesting...
That is a beautiful gall! I have not seen one quite like it (yet). I have a new mission for Arthropod galls. I would love if you would consider adding this spotting! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1473...
Very attractive, J.
