Avispas agalladoras de los encinos de Santa Fe (Ciudad de México, México) (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae: Cynipini; Fagaceae)

Neuroterus ellongatum Pujade-Villar and Melika, In Pujade-Villar et al. (2014b: 4)

Gall (Fig. 6f): Cryptic galls located on the branches. Completely invisible until the exit holes of the adults are observed. The larval chambers are arranged longitudinally inside the woody tissue of the affected branches. The larval chambers measure 2x1 mm.

Hosts: Quercus laeta and Q. glabrescens (section Quercus).

Biology: Only the asexual generation is known. Adults emerge in late winter and early spring when new shoots begin to grow. They emerge from two-year-old twigs.

Distribution: Mexico (Mexico City, Mexico); cited from Santa Fe on Q. laeta in Pujade-Villar et al. (2014b).
