Treatment

Latuspina nawai ( Ashmead, 1904)

Neuroterus nawai Ashmead, 1904: 79 , ♂ ♀.

Latuspina nawai (Ashmead) Ide & Abe (2016: 821) , ♂ ♀ & ǒ.

Distribution. Japan (Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku) ( Ashmead 1904: 79; Monzen 1931: 193; Sakagami 1952: 73; Yukawa & Masuda 1996: 136, 138) and Korea ( Kim et al. 1994: 223).

Remarks (1). The alternating lifecycle was closed by Yukawa & Masuda (1996) and the asexual generation was described by Ide & Abe (2016).

Remarks (2). Yukawa & Masuda (1996) photographed the sexual gall and described it as ‘Kunugi-ha-urashiro-ke-tama-fushi’ (C-087), and the asexual gall as ‘Kunugi-ha-suji-ko-tama-fushi’ (C-082). Later, Ide & Abe (2016) mentioned that these galls correspond to the sexual and asexual generations of L. nawai . Yukawa & Masuda (1996) said also that galls C-091 and C-098 belong to Neuroterus nawai ( L. nawai ); however, they correspond to Cerroneuroterus yukawamasudai (see Remarks for this species).

Remarks (3). The name ‘ Cerroneuroterus nawai ’ was mentioned in Melika et al. (2012), but this combination has never been formally published. Furthermore, the galls of this species, which appeared also in Melika et al. (2010) as N. nawai , actually correspond to the asexual form of C. yukawamasudai .

Remarks (4). Pujade-Villar et al. (2020a) placed N. nawai as species inquirenda, but it had already been revised and transferred to Latuspina by Ide & Abe (2016).

Biology. Both generations induce detachable leaf galls on Q. acutissima and Q. variabilis (sect. Cerris ) ( Table 1; Yukawa & Masuda 1996; Ide & Abe 2016).
