Abstract

Four cynipid gall wasps belonging to three genera are reported with descriptions of their host plants and galls, i.e., Belizinella vicina Kovalev, 1965, Cerroneuroterus folimargo (Monzen, 1954), C. monseni (Dettmer, 1934) and Neuroterus hakonensis Ashmead, 1904. The genus Belizinella and three species, B. vicina, C. monseni and N. hakonensis, are recorded in China for the first time. The species B. vicina is redescribed for the missing or incongruent features from its original description. In addition, the gall host for Ufo rufiventris Wang, Guo, Wang, Pujade-Villar & Chen is also recorded here for the first time.
