Abstract

A new species of oak gallwasp, Neuroterus chinanteco Pujade-Villar & Clark n. sp., known only from its sexual generation that induces galls on the leaves of Quercus macdougallii Martínez, (section Quercus) is described. Quercus macdougallii is a poorly known species, endemic to Oaxaca and rare (located between 2700-3000 m a.s.l.), endangered (included in the IUCN Red List). Diagnosis, distribution and data on biology of the new species are given. Neuroterus chinanteco Pujade-Villar & Clark n. sp. represents the first species mentioned on this oak host. Other galls collected on Q. macdougallii from which only inquilines and/or parasitoids have been obtained are also illustrated.
