Andricus moriokae Monzen, 1953

Andricus moriokae Monzen, 1953: 18 , ♂ ♀.

Distribution. Japan (Honshu, Kyushu) ( Yukawa & Masuda 1996: 162; Ide et al. 2018a: 821), Korea ( Yukawa & Masuda 1996: 162), and the Russian Far East ( Monzen 1953: 19; Kovalev 1965: 35; Yukawa & Masuda 1996: 162).

Remarks. The alternating lifecycle was closed and the asexual generation was described by Katsuda & Yukawa (2004). However, Ide et al. (2018a) reported that the asexual form mentioned by these authors for A. moriokae corresponds, in fact, to the asexual generation of A. pseudocurvator Tang & Melika, 2011 .

Biology. The sexual generation of A. moriokae develops in integral leaf galls on Q. dentata and Q. serrata (= Q. glandulifera ) (sect. Quercus ) ( Table 1; Monzen 1953; Kovalev 1965; Yukawa & Masuda 1996).
