Distribution.
China
(
Hebei
,
Liaoning
Provinces) (
Weih 1965: 161
;
Pujade-Villar
et al
. 2016b: 20
),
Japan
(
Hokkaido
, Honshu, Kyushu) (
Abe 1998: 134
;
Schwéger
et al
. 2015a: 479
), Korean Peninsula (
Pujade-Villar
et al
. 2020a: 1210
), and the Russian Far East (
Schwéger
et al
. 2015a: 478–479
).
Remarks.
The sexual generation has not yet been described (see Remarks 2 below) and the two generations in the lifecycle were linked by
Abe (1991)
.
Remarks (2).
Abe (1986)
described the sexual form of
Andricus mukaigawae
(Mukaigawa, 1913)
from galls found on several
Quercus
species.
Later, all
A. mukaigawae
material obtained from
Q. dentata
was transferred to a new species named
A. kashiwaphilus
(
Abe 1998
)
. The characters used to differentiate both sexual forms (
A. mukaigawae
vs
A. kashiwaphilus
) are not mentioned in
Abe (1998)
, and we assume that the sexual form of
A. kashiwaphilus
has not yet been formally described.
Remarks (3).
The asexual generations of
A. kashiwaphilus
and
A. mukaigawae
are, according to
Abe (1998)
, identical except for their karyotypes. However,
Pujade-Villar
et al
. (2016b)
mentions some morphological characters to differentiate them.
Biology.
Andricus kashiwaphilus
induces galls on
Q. dentata
(sect.
Quercus
), forming integral leaf galls in the sexual generation and large flower- or burr-shaped bud galls in the asexual generation (Table 1;
Abe 1998
;
Abe
et al
. 2007
; Melika 2012;
Pujade-Villar
et al
. 2020a
).
