We express our sincere gratitude to Dr. Masakazu Shiga for his continuous guidance and providing us with information of D. kuriphilus and its parasitoids; Dr. Yozo Murakami for giving us valuable ecological information on T. beneficus; Dr. Toshiharu Mita for providing us with opportunities to examine type materials of T. beneficus that have been kept in ELKU; Drs. Satoshi Toda and Maria Murakami for supporting us on DNA analysis of T. beneficus. This study was partly supported by JSPS KAKENHI Grant number 19H00942 to KM.

N2 - Torymus beneficus Yasumatsu and Kamijo (Hymenoptera: Torymidae) is a native Japanese parasitoid of the chestnut gall wasp, Dryocosmus kuriphilus (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae). The known native host of T. beneficus is Andricus sp. (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae), but its entity has not been identified due to the lack of voucher specimens. During the field surveys of native host cynipids, we newly found leaf galls induced by a cynipid on Castanopsis cuspidata (Fagaceae). Morphological examination revealed that the cynipid was new to science. In this paper, we describe it as Dryocosmus murakamii Ide and Abe sp. nov. In addition, DNA analysis indicated that a Torymus species that had been reared from the galls induced by D. murakamii is identical to the early–spring strain of T. beneficus. We discuss significance of finding native host of T. beneficus.
