Neuroterus vernus variety distortus bisexual form
GALL. — A slight swelling of the bud or young leaf, petiole or vein; on Quercus bicolor.
RANGE. — Connecticut: Waterbury (?). New York, New Jersey (Beutenmuller). Probably confined to a more northeastern part of the United States.
This insect is closely related to variety tectus, but is apparently due to isolation upon the distinct host. Like tectus, this is a bisexual form, starting growth with the unfolding of the buds and maturing in May or June.
