Neuroterus is a genus of gall wasps. Some species produce galls that fall off the host plant and jump along the ground due to the movement of the larvae within.
Neuroterus saltatorius -- formerly named Cynips saltatorius -- produces such Mexican jumping bean-like jumping galls about 1 to 1.5 mm in diameter.[1][2]
Species include:
- Neuroterus albipes
- Neuroterus anthracinus
- Neuroterus aprilinus
- Neuroterus cerrifloralis
- Neuroterus lanuginosus
- Neuroterus numismalis
- Neuroterus quercusbaccarum
- Neuroterus saltatorius
- Neuroterus serratae
