초록


본 연구에서 Kaltenbachiella japonica를 국내에서 처음으로 보고한다. 이 종의 분포지역, 기주식물, 형태학적 정보를 제공하였다.



    The genus Kaltenbachiella comprised of eight species in the world: K. elsholtriae (Shinji, 1936), K. glabra (Akimoto, 1985), K. japonica (Matsumura, 1917), K. nirecola (Matsumura, 1917), K. pallida dongtaiensisZhang, 1997, K. pallida pallida (Haliday, 1838), K. spinosaAkimoto, 1985 and K. ulmifusa (Walsh and Riley, 1869). The pouch gall formed on the leaf midrib and the emigrant antennal characters completely conform to the diagnostic characters of this genus. In Korea, two species have been recorded: K. elsholtriae (Shinji, 1936) and K. nirecola (Matsumura, 1917) were firstly recorded by Paik (1972). In 2018, we newly collected samples of K. japonica (Matsumura, 1917) on Ulmus davidiana var. japonica in Korea. In this study, we report fundatrix of K. japonica for the first time in Korea.

    Materials and Methods

    Samples were preserved in 95% ethanol and then mounted Canada balsam, following the method of Blackman and Eastop (2000) methods. Images and measurements were taken by LEICA (DM3000 LED) and LEICA (CTR6 LED). All specimens were deposited the Institute of Agriculture & Life Science, Gyeongsang National University. The following abbreviations are used in morphological features: BL - body length from the head to the end of cauda; Ant.I-VI - antennal segments, respectively; Ant.VIb - antennal segment base of VI; PT - processus terminalis; URS - Ultimate rostrum segment; 1HT - first tarsal segment of hind leg; 2HT - second tarsal segment of hind leg; HTB - hind tibia; GP - genital plate; ABDT - Abdominal tergite; SIPH - Siphunculi; Co - Costa; Cu - Cubitus; M - Media; Pt - Pterostigma; Rs - Radial sector.

    Material examined. 5 fundatrices, Donghae-si, GW, Korea, 08.vi.2018, Colle JE-11, on Ulmus davidiana var. japonica, J.E. Lee, GNU; 3 fundatrices, Busan-si, Korea, 05.vii.2018, Colle JE-23, on Ulmus davidiana var. japonica, J.E. Lee, GNU.

    Host plant.Ulmus davidiana var. japonica (Ulmaceae).

    Distribution. Korea (new record), Japan, East Siberia, Sri Lank.

    Remark. Galls are globular, covered with fine spine-like projections, green, projecting upward from the mid-rib, which tends to be bent downwards where the gall is attached.
