Neuroterus
Neuroterus is a genus of gall wasps in the family Cynipidae that induce galls on oak species. The genus was first described by Theodor Hartig in 1840. Some species, notably N. saltatorius, produce distinctive 'jumping galls' that detach from the host plant and move along the ground due to larval activity within. Like other oak gall wasps, Neuroterus species exhibit complex life cycles with alternating sexual and asexual (agamic) generations, with each generation typically inducing galls on different parts of the host plant.
Stiriini
owlet moths (tribe)
Stiriini is a tribe of owlet moths in the family Noctuidae, containing approximately 16 genera and over 90 described species. The tribe underwent significant taxonomic revision in 2019 when phylogenetic research revealed it was polyphyletic, resulting in the elevation of former subtribes Grotellinae and Stiriinae to subfamily rank. Stiriini is now placed within the subfamily Stiriinae and comprises primarily the former subtribe Stiriina plus additional genera. Members of this tribe occur in North America, with some representation in Central America and the Caribbean.
