Treatment

Latuspina hellwegi ( Dettmer, 1934)

Neuroterus hellwegi Dettmer, 1934: 126 , ♀.

Latuspina hellwegi (Dettmer) Ide & Abe (2016: 818) , ♂ ♀ & ǒ.

Distribution. Japan (Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku) ( Dettmer 1934: 128; Sakagami 1952: 72; Monzen 1953: 16; Yukawa & Masuda 1996: 136, 141).

Remarks. 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-haname-kotogari-tama-fushi’ (C-095), and the asexual gall as ‘Kunugi-ha-suji-kotsuno-tama-fushi’ (C-083). Later, Ide & Abe (2016) mentioned that these galls correspond to the sexual and asexual generations of L. hellwegi .

Biology. The catkin galls of the sexual generation and the detachable leaf galls of the asexual generation both develop on Q. acutissima and Q. variabilis (sect. Cerris ) ( Table 1; Ide & Abe 2016).
