Moved
Moved from ID Request.
Well, it's not a total disaster since they belong to the same genus, but reposting separate images would be ideal. Fuzzy = Macrodiplosis niveipila; smooth = M. qoruca.
...Actually, on second thought I think it's possible they're both M. niveipila. Leaving at genus level for now.

Images
We have 2 identical images. If we crop the top half from one and the bottom from the other we are close. If we had another image of the under-side we could do the same and put them all together correctly and then add thumbnails.

cool
really cool-looking galls!
If there are two different types of galls please post separately so when they are idnetified they can be moved to their respective placces in the guide.

I agree
tough to place them if they are different.
