Synergus hupingshanensis ( Liu, Yang & Zhu, 2012)

Saphonecrus hupingshanensis Liu, Yang & Zhu in Liu et al. (2012): 556, ♀.

Synergus hupingshanensis (Liu, Yang & Zhu) Schwéger et al. (2015b: 68) .

Distribution. China (Hunan, Fujian Provinces) ( Liu et al. 2012: 559; Lobato-Vila et al. 2021a: 352).

Remarks. Liu et al. (2012) do not exclude the possibility that this species might be a gall inducer, since only S. hupingshanensis adults and some parasitoids were reared from the galls. Lobato-Vila et al. (2021a) also consider that this species could alternatively be a lethal inquiline, as has been demonstrated for other Nearctic and Palaearctic species ( Csóka et al. 2005).

Biology. Reared from non-detachable and multichambered galls on Castanopsis carlesii ( Liu et al. 2012) and small spiny hedgehog-like galls on leaf veins on an undetermined host tree ( Lobato-Vila et al. 2021a). The gall inducers have yet to be confirmed.
