It was later found by one of the authors (GM) in South Korea ( Abe et al. 2007 ). Kovalev (1965) mentioned S. gallaepomiformis (Boyer de Fonscolombe) for the Far East of Russia , which was reared from asexual galls of Andricus hakonensis ( = A. symbioticus , = A. attractus ). We strongly doubt this identification. On the basis of the adult description given by Kovalev, these specimens belong to S. chinensis ( Abe et al . 2007 ) . Synergus chinensis falls into a subclade with S. symbioticus and can be easily distinguished from the latter by some strong diagnostic characters given in the key and in the Diagnosis to S. symbioticus . Currently known from China , South Korea and Russia .
