Neuroterus Rosieae
''Neuroterus'' is a genus of gall wasps that induce galls on oaks in which the wasp larvae live and feed. Some species produce galls that fall off the host plant and 'jump' along the ground due to the movement of the larvae within. ''Neuroterus saltatorius''—formerly named ''Cynips saltatorius''—produces such Mexican jumping bean-like jumping galls about 1 to 1.5 mm in diameter. This genus was first described by Theodor Hartig in 1840. Like most oak gall wasps, Neuroterus species have two generations each year, one sexual and one asexual (or agamic). The galls induced by each generation of the same species are usually produced on different parts of the host plant. Recent studies indicate this genus is poly- or paraphyletic, thus many species will likely be moved to other genera. Species include: *''Neuroterus albipes'' *'' Neuroterus alexandrae'' *'' Neuroterus aliceae'' *''Neuroterus anthracinus'' *'' Neuroterus aprilinus'' *'' Neuroterus bussae'' *'' Neuroterus ce ...

Neuroterus Albipes
''Neuroterus albipes'' is a gall wasp that forms chemically induced leaf galls on oak trees which has both bisexual and agamic generations and therefore forms two distinct galls, the smooth spangle gall and Schenck's gall.Darlington, Page 162 ''Neuroterus laeviusculus'' and ''Spathegaster albipes'' are previous Binomial nomenclature, binomials found in the literature. Galls The normally cream coloured saucer of the smooth spangle gall has a small cone elevated in its centre, a pronounced rim and they are sometimes found almost folded in two. The gall may have streaks of purple, red or other colours through it. Typically found on the lower surface, this gall is found more often on the upper surface than other spangle galls and although often grouped together, the numbers on each leaf are far fewer than in species such as ''Neuroterus quercusbaccarum''. The gall is observed to swell appreciably once it has detached and fallen in late autumn. The gall has also been recorded as green, ...

Neuroterus Quercusbaccarum
The common spangle gall on the underside of leaves and the currant gall on the male catkins or occasionally the leaves, develop as chemically induced distortions on pedunculate oak (''Quercus robur''), or sessile oak (''Quercus petraea'') trees, caused by the cynipid wasp ''Neuroterus quercusbaccarum'' which has both agamic and bisexual generations. Previous names or synonyms for this species are '' Neuroterus baccarum'', ''N. lenticularis'', ''N. malpighii'', ''Cynips lenticularis'', ''C. quercus-baccarum'', ''Spathegaster baccarum, S. varius'', ''S. interruptor''. Galls The spangle gall generation on the underside of the oak leaves are flat discs, with a distinct central elevation, slightly hairy, yellow-green at first and reddish later, attached by a short stalk. These galls are up to 6 mm in diameter, unilocular, unilarval with a whitish or yellow undersurface; they mature in September, detach and fall to the ground before the leaves themselves. The larva continue to dev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Neuroterus Quaili
''Neuroterus'' is a genus of gall wasps that induce galls on oaks in which the wasp larvae live and feed.

Neuroterus Oblongifoliae
''Neuroterus'' is a genus of gall wasps that induce Gall, galls on Oak, oaks in which the wasp larvae live and feed. Some species produce galls that fall off the host plant and 'jump' along the ground due to the movement of the larvae within. ''Neuroterus saltatorius''—formerly named ''Cynips saltatorius''—produces such Mexican jumping bean-like jumping galls about 1 to 1.5 mm in diameter. This genus was first described by Theodor Hartig in 1840. Like most Cynipini, oak gall wasps, Neuroterus species have two generations each year, one sexual and one Asexual reproduction, asexual (or agamic). The galls induced by each generation of the same species are usually produced on different parts of the host plant. Recent studies indicate this genus is Polyphyletic, poly- or paraphyletic, thus many species will likely be moved to other genera.

Neuroterus Numismalis
''Neuroterus numismalis'' is a gall wasp that forms chemically induced leaf galls on oak trees. It has both bisexual and agamic (parthenogenetic) generations and forms two distinct galls on oak leaves, the silk button gall and blister gall. The galls can be very numerous with more than a thousand per leaf.Darlington, page 161 Synonyms ''Neuroterus reaumuri'', ''N. vesicator'', ''Spathegaster vesicatrix'', ''Cynips numismalis'', and ''C. quercus-tiarae'' are previous binomials found in the literature. Physical appearance Galls This silk button spangle gall has a cover of golden hairs that give the impression of silk thread. The 0.3 cm button-shaped galls have a pronounced concavity and sit tightly against the leaf lamina. Blister galls are about 0.3 cm in diameter and green or greyish in colour; well camouflaged with the leaf lamina. The gall has narrow ridges running downwards on all sides from a central papilla on the upper surface and sometimes on the lower surface ...
