Abstract

Andricus mukaigawae (Mukaigawa, 1913) and A. kashiwaphilus Abe, 1998 are reported for the second time from China on plant hosts Quercus mongolica Fisch. ex Ledeb. and Q. dentata Thunb., respectively. The morphological characters useful to differentiate these agamic forms are firstly provided. Three inquilines species were obtained and identified from their plant host galls: Saphonecrus laleyi Melika & Schwéger, 2015, Synergus khazani Melika & Schwéger, 2015 and Ceroptres masudai Abe, 1997, and all of them are new records for China. Andricus mukaigawae is the first host known for S. laleyi, and A. kashiwaphilus is a new host for C. masudai.
