status	Incertae sedis

Treatment

Callirhytis kunugico la Shinji, 1943a: 95 , ♂ ♀.

Callirhytis kunugico la Shinji, 1944: 441 , ♂ ♀ syn. nov. [see Remarks 2 below].

Distribution. Japan (Honshu) ( Shinji 1943a: 95; Shinji 1944: 68 (photo 116) and 411; Sakagami 1952: 74)

Remarks. Uncertain status ( Abe et al. 2007; Pénzes et al. 2018). The types are lost and the original description does not allow confident identification to Callirhytis or any other genus.

Remarks (2). Callirhytis kunugicola was described as a new species in Shinji (1943a) and this description was later duplicated in Shinji (1944). Thus, Callirhytis kunugicola Shinji, 1943 (= C. kunugicola Shinji, 1944 syn. nov.).

Biology. Based on a photo in Yukawa & Masuda (1996) (C-083), the gall looks more like one induced by a dipteran gall midge than by a gall wasp ( Pénzes et al. 2018). Found on Q. acutissima (sect. Cerris ) ( Sakagami 1952).
