Neuroterus albipes is a gall wasp that forms chemically induced leaf galls on oak trees which has both bisexual and agamic generations and therefore forms two distinct galls, the smooth spangle gall and Schenck's gall.[1] Neuroterus laeviusculus and Spathegaster albipes are previous binomials found in the literature.[1]
