Cerroneuroterus minutulus ( Giraud, 1859)

[syn. Neuroterus minutulus Giraud, 1859 ]

Host plant/gall: Q. cer .—spherical gall (1.2–1.6 mm Ø) on uppersaid of leaves (- a -).

Remark: Recently, by laboratory experiments and molecular data, the life cycle of Cerroneuroterus minutulus ( Giraud, 1859) a species previously known only from its asexual generation, has been closed (Sotille et al. 2024). Thus, Cerroneuroterus aggregatus ( Wachtl, 1880) , has been confirmed as the sexual generation and the synonym junior of C. minutulus ( Giraud, 1859) .
