Abstract
A new species of the inquilinous gall wasp genus Saphonecrus (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: Synergini) reared from undetermined cryptic stem galls on Quercus glauca Thunb., Saphonecrus jejuensis Kang & Lobato-Vila, sp. nov., is described from South Korea. A detailed description, diagnosis, data on biology and pictures of both the new species and the host galls are provided. An identification key to the Saphonecrus species found in South Korea is also given.
