Host information.
Torymus minamii
is a parasitoid of
Kiefferia pericarpiicola
(Bremi)
(
Diptera
:
Cecidomyiidae
) on
Angelica sachalinensis
Maxim. var.
sachalinensis
(Apiaceae)
,
A. edulis
Miyabe ex Y. Yabe
(gall photo: fig. 27c), and
Spuriopimpinella calycina
(Maxim.) Kitag. (Apiaceae)
.
Remarks.
Females of
T. minamii
are similar to
T. sasae
Matsuo
because of the following shared features: scutellum sculptured as posterior part of mesoscutum; dorsellum without median carina; propodeum with superficial reticulation, smoother medially; speculum narrowly opened below; dorsal surface of hind coxa setose in basal half. However, females of
T. minamii
can be distinguished from
T. sasae
by having the following features: scape not reaching anterior ocellus (just reaching ventral margin of anterior ocellus in
T. sasae
); each funicular segment bearing longitudinal sensilla arranged in one row (two rows in
T. sasae
); posterior margin of metasomal tergum five entire (incised in
T. sasae
); tip of hypopygium situated at 0.8 length of metasoma (0.6 length of metasoma in
T. sasae
); ovipositor sheath as long as metasoma, 1.5× as long as hind tibia (2.3× as long as hind tibia in
T. sasae
).
