It is concluded that Prunus zippeliana Miquel is a winter host of the soybean pod gall midge and host alternation by A. yushimai is confirmed, the second finding of host alternations by a species of Asphondylia.

Nezara viridula has been expanding its range northward since the 1960s and coincided well with the areas where the mean temperature of the coldest month exceeds 5°C that has been suggested to be the lowest thermal limit for N.viridula to overwinter successfully.

DNA analysis, together with morphological, ecological, and distributional information, indicated that the weigela leaf bud gall midge is identical with Asphondylia baca Monzen that produces fruit galls on Ampelopsis brevipedunculata and Trautvetter var.

Detection of an invasive gall‐inducing pest, Quadrastichus erythrinae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), causing damage to Erythrina variegata L. (Fabaceae) in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan
In 2005, Quadrastichus erythrinae Kim, 2004, which induces stem, petiole, and leaf galls on Erythrina variegata L. (Fabaceae), was found on the following six islands in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan: Okinawa, Kume, Miyako, Ishigaki, Iriomote, and Hateruma.
Distribution of Asteralobia Gall Midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) Causing Axillary Bud Galls on Ilex Species (Aquifoliaceae) in Japan
A wideandcommondistribution range of Asteralobia sasakii on I. crenata, I. paludosa, and I. maximowicziana suggesteda high dispersalability of the species.
Life History Patterns and Host Ranges of the Genus Asphondylia (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)
Japanese Asphondylia species seem to be less constrained by the phenology of their host plants than other leaf gallers and to have flexible potential for adaptation of their life history strategy to the habitat and life style of theirHost plants.
