Treatment

Neuroterus haasi Kieffer, 1904: 61 , ǒ.

Distribution. India (Bengal, Kurseong) ( Kieffer 1904: 62; Dalla-Torre & Kieffer 1910: 327; Mani 2000, according to Pénzes et al. 2018: 276).

Remarks. Neuroterus haasi was originally described from Q. spicata Smith , which has been synonymized with Lithocarpus elegans (Blume) Hatus. ex Soepadmo ( Govaerts & Frodin 1998) . This is a very strange host association for Neuroterus . In fact, Pénzes et al. (2018) suspect that N. haasi could be a Dryocosmus , but whether it belongs to Dryocosmus or Neuroterus must be examined in further detail, including analysis of DNA sequence data.

Biology. Only the asexual generation has been described, which induces galls in young shoots of Lithocarpus elegans ( Table 1; Kieffer 1904; Dalla-Torre & Kieffer 1910).
