Neuroterus
Neuroterus is a genus of gall wasps. 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.
Species include:
- Neuroterus albipes
- Neuroterus anthracinus
- Neuroterus aprilinus
- Neuroterus cerrifloralis
- Neuroterus lanuginosus
- Neuroterus numismalis
- Neuroterus quercusbaccarum
- Neuroterus saltatorius
- Neuroterus serratae
- Neuroterus tricolor
- Neuroterus umbilicatus
