Neuroterus lamellae, new species
Host: Quercus subturbinella=Q. turbinella
Gall: A thickening of the parenchyma of a part of the leaf area, deforming the leaf, almost half an inch thick. Pubescence on lower side white and short, on upper side, where exit holes are located, it is longer. Resembles the gall of Neuroterus washingtonensis on Quercus garryana.
Habitat: Dead adults were cut out of galls in November 1944 from galls collected July 23, 1943 at Prescott AZ. As dark pupae were found in galls at Prescott on July 12, 1947 the normal emergence is probably in late July.
