HOLOTYPE ♀ with the following collection data: ‘242-1 Jungang-ro, Suncheon-si, Jeollanam-do, South Korea’ (white label) / ‘Ex. cryptic leaf galls on Q. mongolica ( Quercus section), 27.V.2021 (collected), 27.V.2021 (emerged), S.B Choi leg.’ (white label) / ‘Holotype ♀ Andricus koreanus Kang &amp; Jung, desig. Kang 2021’ (red label), (CNU). PARATYPES (33♂ &amp; 27♀) with data as the holotype. All type specimens are deposited in CNU .</p><p>Etymology. The new species is named after the country of the type locality, South Korea. Noun in apposition.</p><p>Diagnosis. Andricus koreanus sp. nov. is morphologically similar to A. pseudocurvator (Tang &amp; Melika, 2011) but differs from this species by having the body length about 1.5–1.6 mm (1.9–2.1 mm in A. pseudocurvator); POL 2.1x as long as OOL (1.4x in A. pseudocurvator), OOL 1.4x as long as length of lateral ocellus (2.5x in A. pseudocurvator); ventral spine of hypopygium (the prominent part) 2.0x as long as broad in ventral view (6.0x longer than broad in A. pseudocurvator) radial cell about 3.5x as long as broad (about 3.3x in A. pseudocurvator); all subsequent tergites without setae (with some white setae laterally, all subsequent tergites with setae, smooth and shiny in A. pseudocurvator). In male, A. koreanus body length about 1.3–1.4 mm (1.8–1.9 mm in A. pseudocurvator); A. koreanus F1 straight (F1 curved and swollen apically in A. pseudocurvator); F1 1.2x longer than F2 and nearly 2.0x longer than pedicel, F13 1.3x longer than F12 (F1 1.2x longer than F2 and nearly 2.5x longer than pedicel; F13 equal in length to F 12 in A. pseudocurvator).

Length about 1.2 mm. Longer than body length, forewing about 4.0x as long as broad, dense cilia on margin, radial cell open, about 3.5x as long as broad; R1 and Rs reaching the wing margin and slightly curved; Rs+M indistinct, M distinct; Rs+M not reaching M.</p><p>Legs.

Slightly longer than head+mesosoma and 1.3x as long as high in lateral view; 2nd metasomal tergite occupying 1/3–1/2 length of metasoma in dorsal view, all subsequent tergites without setae, smooth and shiny. Ventral spine of the hypopygium short, prominent part 2.0x as long as broad in ventral view, with some white setae along ventral part of hypopygium (Fig. 1A).</p><p>MALE (Fig. 1K). Body length about 1.3–1.4 mm (n = 13); POL:OOL:LOL=4:3:2; Antenna Ratio of flagellomeres. 1–13: 11, 8, 7.5, 7.5, 7, 6.5, 6.5, 6, 6, 5.5, 5.5, 5, 6.5. Fore wing length about 1.1 mm.</p><p>Asexual Generation FEMALE. Unknown.</p><p>Host Plants. Quercus mongolica .</p><p>Gall (Fig. 1M). Sexual generation. Occur on the underside of the leaf, rounded and flattened about 2.0 mm diameter, not forming clusters, the upperside of the leaf is swollen, green. The average number of larval chambers per gall is 2–3. The cryptic nature of these galls makes it difficult to distinguish an attacked leaf from a non-attacked one before the emergence of the adults, when the emergence holes are formed.</p><p>Distribution. South Korea (Jeollanam-do).</p><p>Phenology. Mature galls were collected in late May, adults emerging immediately after the galls were collected, in late May.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F5B453355DFF95FF17FA616025D091	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
