Chonnam National University campus ( South Korea), Ex. asexual galls of Trichagalma acutissimae , Q. variabilis , (27.viii.2017) viii.2017, Roca-Cusachs leg.: 1♀; KOR: 26, Namjo-ro, Namwon-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do ( South Korea), Ex. asexual galls of Trichagalma acutissimae , Q. acutissima , (14.vii.2019) 19.viii.2019, M.J.

Distribution. South Korea ( Melika et al. 2007; this paper).

Biology. Originally reared from galls of Biorhiza nawai ( Melika et al. 2007) presumably on Quercus variabilis ( Melika et al. 2012: 156) , even though B. nawai is only known from Q. mongolica and Q. serrata ( Pénzes et al. 2018) . The new material included in this paper was reared from asexual galls of Trichagalma acutissimae on Q. variabilis and Q. acutissima .
