Neuroterus narae Shinji, 1938 Incertae sedis

Neuroterus narae Shinji, 1938a: 434, ♂ ♀.

Distribution. Japan (Honshu) (Shinji 1938a: 434; Shinji 1944: 121 (photo 221: gall); Sakagami 1952: 73).

Remarks. Uncertain status (Abe et al. 2007; Pénzes et al. 2018). The types are lost and the original description does not allow confident identification to Neuroterus or any other genus.

Remarks (2). Pénzes et al. (2018) suggested that adults of N. narae correspond to Synergus (inquilines) according to the original description.

Biology. Induces leaf galls on Q. serrata (= Q. glandulifera) (sect. Quercus) (Shinji 1938a).
