Abstract

Background: The genus Kurisakia Takahashi, 1924 belongs to the subfamily Thelaxinae (Hemiptera, Aphididae) and currently comprises seven valid species worldwide. Kurisakia querciphila Takahashi, 1960 was originally described from Japan as a subspecies of K. onigurumii and was subsequently recognised as a distinct species. In Korea, Paik recorded K. onigurumii, a record that was later referred to K. querciphila. Nevertheless, the current National Species List of Korea lists only K. onigurumii within the genus Kurisakia, whereas K. querciphila is not included.

New information: We provide a detailed morphological re-description and illustrations of the apterous viviparous female of Kurisakia querciphila, based on recently collected specimens from South Korea. The specimens were collected from Quercus variabilis in Jinju-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, in 2024. Host-plant and distributional information is also provided and the COI sequence obtained from a single individual was deposited in GenBank. The present study confirms the occurrence of K. querciphila in South Korea, based on morphologically identified specimens and provides taxonomic evidence supporting its inclusion in the National Species List of Korea.

期刊介绍： Biodiversity Data Journal (BDJ) is a community peer-reviewed, open-access, comprehensive online platform, designed to accelerate publishing, dissemination and sharing of biodiversity-related data of any kind. All structural elements of the articles – text, morphological descriptions, occurrences, data tables, etc. – will be treated and stored as DATA, in accordance with the Data Publishing Policies and Guidelines of Pensoft Publishers. The journal will publish papers in biodiversity science containing taxonomic, floristic/faunistic, morphological, genomic, phylogenetic, ecological or environmental data on any taxon of any geological age from any part of the world with no lower or upper limit to manuscript size.
