Latuspina kofuensis Ide & Abe 2016

Description

Latuspina kofuensis Ide & Abe, 2016

Latuspina kofuensis Ide & Abe, 2016: 824, ♂ ♀ & ǒ.

Distribution. Japan (Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku) and Korean Peninsula (Yukawa & Masuda 1996: 136, 140).

Remarks. The alternating lifecycle was closed by Yukawa & Masuda (1996).

Remarks (2). Yukawa & Masuda (1996) described the galls of the sexual generation as ‘Kunugi-ha-fukure-kotama-fushi’ (C-093) and the galls of the asexual generation as ‘Kunugi-ha-suji-kotsu-ya-tama-fushi’ (C-084). Later, Ide & Abe (2016) mentioned that these galls correspond to the sexual and asexual generations of a newly described species, L. kofuensis.

Biology. Both generations induce leaf galls (integral in the sexual generation, detachable in the asexual one) on Q. acutissima (sect. Cerris) (Table 1; Ide & Abe 2016).
