Saphonecrus chaodongzhui Melika, Ács & Bechtold, 2004

Saphonecrus chaodongzhui Melika, Ács & Bechtold in Melika et al. (2004): 330 View Cited Treatment , ♀.

Distribution. China (Yunnan Province) ( Melika et al. 2004: 333–334; Wang et al. 2010: 1037–1038), South Korea, and Japan ( Schwéger et al. 2015b: 62, Saphonecrus connatus section).

Remarks. According to Schwéger et al. (2015b) and Lobato-Vila et al. (2021b), S. chaodongzhui was recorded in Zhejiang ( China) by Wang et al. (2010). However, this record is erroneous; in China, S. chaodongzhui has been found only in Yunnan ( Wang et al. 2010).

Remarks (2). Saphonecrus connatus is thought to be a trans-Palaearctic species and was mentioned from Japan and South Korea ( Sakagami 1949, 1952; Abe et al. 2007). However, this record might be well S. chaodongzhui , a species that is closely related to (and morphologically similar to) S. connatus (according to Schwéger et al. 2015b).

Biology. Reared from leaf galls on Q. dentata (sect. Quercus ) ( Schwéger et al. 2015b). The gall inducer has yet to be confirmed.
