Character assessment
. We here comment on several characters adopted by previous authors for
Fagineura
.
- Postocellar area length.
Liu
et al
. (2019
,
2021
) stated “postocellar area more than 2.0 × as wide as long” under the diagnosis of
Fagineura
. In our material, the ratio is more than 2.0 × in the
F. crenativora
group (
Figs 6A–E
) but sometimes 2.0 × or less in the
F. quercivora
group (
Figs 6H, L
) (for the species groups, see under Remarks below).
- Malar space length.
Liu
et al
. (2019
,
2021
) stated “malar space shorter than diameter of median ocellus, and in most species not exceeding 0.5 × of diameter of median ocellus” under the diagnosis of
Fagineura
. According to them, the ratios of four Chinese species are 0.3–0.8 ×. In the other seven species of the genus, the malar space is 0.2–0.8 × as long as the median ocellus width (= horizontal diameter). We also consider the short malar space to be a good generic character of
Fagineura
.
Prous
et al
. (2014)
erroneously treated
Fagineura
as one of the genera with “Malar space 1.0–2.0 times as long as diameter of front ocellus” in the key to
Nematinae
genera (pp. 22–26, from the lower half of the couplet 18 to the couplet 22). We suggest some modification of the key under Remarks below so that
Fagineura
can be identified.
- Shape of mandibles. Vikberg & Zinovjev (in
Shinohara
et al
. 2000
) established
Fagineura
for a single species,
F. crenativora
. One of the generic characters they stated is “Mandibles symmetric, rather narrow, gradually tapering from base to apex, without carina in apical half”. More precisely, each of the mandibles of
F. crenativora
tapers rather sharply on the basal half and gradually on the apical half in the outer view (
Figs 7A, D, J
) and has a low and dull apical carina on both anterior and posterior surfaces (
Figs 7P, Q
). This character state is common to
F. parva
described in this paper (
Figs 7E, K
).
Liu
et al
. (2019
,
2021
) who described four Chinese species,
F. brevicornis
,
F. flactoserrula
,
F. longitangia
and
F. xanthosoma
, stated only “mandibles symmetrical” under the diagnosis of the genus, and details of mandibles are not given. These six species belong to the
F. crenativora
group. Other five species belong to the
F. quercivora
group and their mandibles differ from those of
F. crenativora
and
F. parva
and probably from four Chinese species. The mandibles of the
F. quercivora
group are slightly asymmetric. The left mandible is constricted in the middle with the middle part very gradually tapered or being the same thickness in the outer view (
Figs 7F–I
) and with a sharp apical carina on the anterior surface (
Fig. 7R
) and a low and dull apical carina on the posterior surface (
Fig. 7S
). The right mandible is constricted in the middle with the middle part being the same thickness or slightly thickened toward the apex in the outer view (
Figs 7L–O
) and with a low and dull apical carina on the anterior surface (
Fig. 7R
) and a sharp apical carina on the posterior surface (
Fig. 7S
). For “
F. quercivora
Togashi, 2006
” (=
F. togashii
),
Togashi (2006)
wrote “left mandible narrow, rather gradually tapered to apex” and gave the figure (fig.
4 in
Togashi 2006
), but his description and figure are not accurate (see
Fig. 7F
).
Prous
et al.
(2014)
divided the character of mandibles into two states in the key to genera of world
Nematinae
, the couplet 6 “
a
Left mandible markedly constricted near middle and right mandible tapered regularly towards apex” in the first line and “
aa
Left and right mandible both tapered regularly towards apex” in the second line (see also the couplets 26 and 28), and treated
Fagineura
as having both states. However, the state ‘a’ does not agree with any
Fagineura
species
(
Figs 7D–O
), and the state ‘aa’ almost agrees with
F. crenativora
and
F. parva
(
Figs 7D, E, J, K
) (and possibly also with the four Chinese species) but not with the
F. quercivora
group. We suggest some modification of the key in Remarks below.
- Setae on katepimeron. Vikberg & Zinovjev (in
Shinohara
et al
. 2000
) wrote “Anterior third of mesopleural katepimeron glabrous, posterior part pilose” for
Fagineura
.
Prous
et al.
(2014)
adopted the katepimeron extensively covered with setae as the generic character. In our specimens, the katepimeron is usually covered with setae extensively or moderately, but in
F. parva
and a few specimens of
F. crenativora
, the katepimeron has only a few or several setae. According to
Liu
et al
. (2019)
,
F. flactoserrula
also has only a few setae on the katepimeron. This character is widely variable in the
F. crenativora
group, although the katepimeron is never entirely glabrous as in some species of the related genera such as
Euura
and
Nematus
.
- Distance between cenchri.
Liu
et al
. (2019
,
2021
) wrote “distance between cenchri almost as long as breadth of a cenchrus” or “distance between cenchri as long as or shorter than breadth of a cenchrus” under the diagnosis of
Fagineura
. In our material, the ratio of the distance between cenchri to the major axis of a cenchrus is 0.8–1.5 × in the genus, 0.9–1.4 × in the
F. crenativora
group and 0.8–1.5 × in the
F. quercivora
group. This character is hardly useful to distinguish
Fagineura
and the two species groups from other nematine genera.
- Apical dilation of vein C of fore wing. Vikberg & Zinovjev (in
Shinohara
et al
. 2000
) and
Liu
et al
. (2019
,
2021
) separated
Fagineura
from
Pristiphora
and its related genera by the less dilated vein C of the fore wing. This character is not very valuable to distinguish these genera. The apex of vein C is sometimes greatly dilated in the
F. crenativora
group (
Fig. 8X
), usually so in the
F. quercivora
group (
Fig. 8Y
) and sometimes less noticeably dilated in
Pristiphora
so that the ratio of the width of cell Sc to the width of vein C at the middle point of the base of vein Rs+M widely overlaps between the two genera. The ratio is 0.1–1.0 × in
Fagineura
(0.3–1.0 × in the
F. crenativora
group and 0.1–0.5 × in the
F. quercivora
group) and 0–0.4 × in
Pristiphora
in our material.
- Presence or absence of crossvein 2r-rs of fore wing. Previously known species of
Fagineura
have no crossvein 2r-rs. Therefore, the absence of crossvein 2r-rs has been adopted as the generic character by previous authors (Vikberg & Zinovjev in
Shinohara
et al
. 2000
,
Liu
et al
. 2019
,
2021
). In this paper, we move
Dineura quercivora
Togashi, 1997
of which the
holotype
has crossvein 2r-rs to
Fagineura
(for the reason, see Remarks of
Fagineura
and
F. quercivora
).
- Apical emargination of valvula 3. Vikberg & Zinovjev (in
Shinohara
et al
. 2000
) considered the apically emarginate valvula 3 to be a character of the genus. However,
F. xanthosoma
of the
F. crenativora
group and several species of the
F. quercivora
group have the apically not or indistinctly emarginate valvula 3 (fig. 2f in
Liu
et al
. 2019
;
Figs 9C, D, F, G
).
- Presence or absence of pores in tangium of lancet. The pored tangium was considered the generic character of
Fagineura
by Vikberg & Zinovjev (in
Shinohara
et al
. 2000
) and
Prous
et al.
(2014)
. However, the tangium of
Fagineura flactoserrula
has only one pore (fig. 1j in
Liu
et al
. 2019
), and those of
F. parva
and the
F. quercivora
group have no pores (
Figs 11C
,
12A–E
,
13A–E
).
- Presence or absence of ctenidium in most basal annulus of lancet.
Liu
et al
. (2019
,
2021
) adopted the presence of a ctenidium in the annulus 1 of a lancet as the generic character. In all the members of the
F. crenativora
group, a ctenidium is present in the annulus 1 and it occurs in a transverse colorless area (
Figs 11A–C
; figs 2A–D in
Liu
et al
. 2021
). In
F. parva
, the ctenidium in the annulus 1 is small, but the colorless area with the ctenidium is well developed (
Fig. 11C
). In the
F. quercivora
group, the ctenidium and related colorless area are inconspicuous or absent (
Figs 12A–E
,
13A–E
). The development of the colorless area with a ctenidium in the annulus 1 is a good character of the
F. crenativora
group.
- Tergum 8 of male.
Liu
et al
. (2019)
wrote “in males, the posterior end of tergum 8 with distinct apical projection” as one of the character to distinguish
Fagineura
from
Pristiphora
. Actually, certain members of
Pristiphora
also have a distinct procidentia (compare
Figs 14A–C
with figs
55–57 in
Prous
et al
. 2017
, figs 3Q, V in Hara
et al
. 2018, fig. 5H in
Hara
et al
. 2021
).
- Extra larval molt. The larva of
F. crenativora
has an extra molt after the feeding period (
Shinohara
et al
. 2000
). Vikberg & Zinovjev (in
Shinohara
et al
. 2000
) mentioned the presence of an extra larval molt as one of the generic characters. We observed that the mature larva of
F. togashii
of the
F. quercivora
group entered into the soil without an extra molt. The presence or absence of an extra molt may differ between the
F. crenativora
group and the
F. quercivora
group.
Remarks
. The key to the genera of world
Nematinae
by
Prous
et al.
(2014)
needs some modification to identify
Fagineura
. The
Fagineura
species
without crossvein 2r-rs go to the couplet 6 but part of them do not agree with either line of the couplet as stated in Character assessment (Shape of mandibles). To fit the part of
Fagineura
and some
Nematinus
(see the last paragraph), the state ‘aa’ in the second line of the couplet 6 needs to be modified as follows: Left and right mandible both tapered regularly towards apex
or markedly constricted near middle, or left mandible tapered regularly towards apex and right mandible markedly constricted near middle
(modified parts are shown in italics; the former modified part is for the part of
Fagineura
and the latter for some
Nematinus
).
Fagineura
goes through the modified second half of the couplet 6 to the couplet 18, but disagrees with either half of the couplet 18, because it has the subapical tooth of a tarsal claw not larger than the apical tooth* (‘aa’ in the second half), a short malar space (‘b’ in the first half) and a widely emarginate clypeus (‘cc’ in the second half) [*
Liu
et al
. (2021)
stated “inner tooth of tarsal claw longer than outer tooth” for “
F. quercivora
” (=
F. togashii
) probably based on fig. 11 by
Togashi (2006)
, but fig. 11 is inaccurate (compare it with
Fig. 11Q
)]. By modifying the state “bb Malar space 1.0–2.0 times as long as diameter of front ocellus” in the second half to “bb Malar space
0.2
–2.0 times as long as diameter of front ocellus” (see Malar space length in Character assessment),
Fagineura
goes through the modified second half of the couplet 18 to the couplet 22 consisting of
Fagineura
and
Euura
. For the reasons mentioned in Character assessment (Setae on katepimeron and Presence or absence of pores in tangium of lancet), the couplet 22 needs to be modified as follows:
22(21) a
Katepimeron extensively covered with hairs,
sometimes with only few hairs
.
b
Sawsheath slightly emarginate or not emarginate in dorsal view.
c
Tangium of lancet with
or without
campaniform sensilla............

cc
Tangium of lancet without campaniform sensilla...............................
Euura
Newman,
1837
in part
[* This modification is based on our material of gall-inducing
Euura
]
Even with this modified couplet, most of the
Fagineura
and
Euura
coming here will be distinguishable, but the male of
F. parva
and part of the male of
F. crenativora
are not separable from the males of some gall-inducing
Euura
. Their males are separated as follows: the tergal hollow of abdominal tergum 8 is well defined in the former (
Figs 14A–C
) but not clearly defined in the latter; a paraantennal field is mostly covered with setae in the former (
Figs 6P, Q
) but often widely glabrous in the latter; a median groove is present above a frontal pit in the former (
Figs 6P, Q
) but often absent in the latter.
In the key by
Prous
et al.
(2014)
, some
F. quercivora
with crossvein 2r-rs run through the couplet 5 to the couplet 26 but their mandibles do not fit both the states ‘d’ and ‘dd’ in the couplet 26. The state ‘dd’ needs the following modification: Left and right mandible both tapered regularly towards apex
or markedly constricted near middle,
or left mandible markedly constricted near middle and right mandible tapered regularly towards apex. The same modification is needed for the state ‘aa’ of the couplet 28. With these modifications, some
F. quercivora
with crossvein 2r-rs run through the modified second half of the couplet 26 and the modified second half of the couplet 28 to the couplet 32 consisting of
Moricella
Rohwer, 1916
and
Dineura
Dahlbom, 1835
.
Fagineura quercivora
differs from those genera by the anterior fore tibial spur with a velum (without a velum in those two genera) and the left and right mandible both markedly constricted near the middle (both tapered regularly towards the apex in those two genera).
We divide
Fagineura
into two species groups, the
F. crenativora
group and the
F. quercivora
group. These two groups have different mandibles, frontal pits, female cerci, lances, lancets and penis valves as stated in the couplet 1 of the key below. As far as we know about the ecology of
Fagineura
species
, the larva of
F. crenativora
of the
F. crenativora
group feeds on
Fagus
and has an extra molt, but the larvae of all members of the
F. quercivora
group feed on
Quercus
and the larva of
F. togashii
of the
F. quercivora
group does not have an extra molt. We have not found any apomorphic character that suggests a close relationship between the two groups. The markedly constricted right mandible of the
F. quercivora
group (
Figs 7L–O
) appears to be an unusual feature in the
Nematinae
, though this character is also found in some
Nematinus
species
(fig. 2I in
Hara 2017
). This fact may suggest that the
F. quercivora
group is closely related to
Nematinus
. On the other hand, the
F. quercivora
group has a markedly constricted left mandible (
Figs 7F–H
) like
Euura
,
Nematus
,
Pristiphora
and their related genera, and the larva of
F. togashii
of the
F. quercivora
group goes to the couplet 30 leading to part of
Euura
in the larval key of the West Palaearctic genera by
Prous
et al.
(2019)
. Genetic study will be needed to clarify the relationship between the
F. quercivora
group and other nematines. We believe that it is best to place the
F. quercivora
group in
Fagineura
at the moment, because the group is more similar to the
F. crenativora
group than any other nematines and the genus classification of the
Nematinae
is still not stable, especially for East Asian species.
