Small, hairless, glossy red-pink spangles with a wide, shallowly angled rim, in numbers on the lower side of leaves of Quercus lyrata, between veins. A similar gall, white in color (aging to brown) but with the same shape, has been observed on Quercus bicolor and rarely on macrocarpa, formerly identified as Neuroterus saltarius but at least plausibly a distinct species given the dramatic difference in shape from the typical habit of that species on Quercus macrocarpa. Observed in May in Arkansas. They differ from Neuroterus tantulus in their color and host and in their tendency to be more glossy and wide-rimmed, and from Neuroterus umbilicatus and the hairy saucer shaped galls on various white oaks by their lack of hair.
