About Neuroterus albipes (Schenck, 1863)

Neuroterus albipes, first described by Schenck in 1863, is a species of gall wasp. It induces chemically formed leaf galls on oak trees. This species has both bisexual and agamic generations, which produce two distinct types of galls: the smooth spangle gall and Schenck's gall. Neuroterus laeviusculus and Spathegaster albipes are older scientific names that have been used for this species in published literature.
