Plagiotrochus kunugiphagus ( Ide & Abe, 2015)
Dryocosmus kunugiphagus Ide & Abe, 2015: 469 , ♂ ♀ & ǒ.
Plagiotrochus kunugiphagus (Ide & Abe) Pujade-Villar et al. (2020a: 1215) , ♂ ♀ & ǒ.
Distribution. Japan (Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku) ( Mukaigawa 1914: 487; Mukaigawa 1922: 203; Monzen 1929: 349; Shinji 1944: 67 (photo 113); Yukawa & Masuda 1996: 133, 134; Ide & Abe 2015: 476) and Korean Peninsula ( Saito 1932: 101; Yukawa & Masuda 1996: 133, 134; Pujade-Villar et al. 2020a: 1215).
Remarks. The alternating lifecycle was reported by Mukaigawa (1914) and Yukawa & Masuda (1996). The sexual and asexual generations were described by Ide & Abe (2015).
Remarks (2). Plagiotrochus kunugiphagus was erroneously identified as Andricus inflator Hartig, 1840 , a species described from Europe, based exclusively on the morphology of the galls ( Monzen 1929, 1938; Shinji 1944; Ishii 1949; Sakagami 1952; Inoue 1960). Although the galls of both species are quite similar, the adult wasps are morphologically very different ( Ide & Abe 2015).
Remarks (3). The host plants of P. kunugiphagus are Q. acutissima and, occasionally, Q. variabilis (both section Cerris ) in Korea, according to the original description and Pujade-Villar et al. (2020a). However, photos 136 and 233 in Shinji (1944) belong to a different oak species ( Q. serrata = Q. glandulifera ; sect. Quercus ). Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the host plant.
Remarks (4). In Mukaigawa (1914), this species was mentioned as ‘Kunugi-no-ibo-fushi-bachi’ and in Mukaigawa (1922), as ‘Kunugi-ibo-fushi-bachi’.
Remarks (5). Yukawa & Masuda (1996) photographed the asexual gall of this species and described it as ‘Kunugi-eda-tama-fushi’ (C-076), and the sexual gall as ‘Kunugi- waka-me-maru-zui-fushi’ (C-079). Later, Ide & Abe (2015) identified these galls as belonging to their newly described species, D. kunugiphagus .
Biology. Both generations induce twig galls, presumably on Q. acutissima and Q. variabilis (sect. Cerris ) (see Remarks 3 above) ( Table 1; Ide & Abe 2015). More detailed information on the biology of this species is summarized in Pénzes et al. (2018) under the name Dryocosmus kunugiphagus .
