Abstract We revised and analyzed distributional information on two nominal and some unidentidied Japanese Asteralobia species that produce axillary bud galls on πex species (Aquifoliaceae). Galls on I. maximow...icziana are newly recorded from the Southwest Islands. Galls on I. maximowicziana are newly recorded from the Southwest Islands. Galls produced by respective Aseralobia species were collected from most of the distribution range of their host plants, whilst those on I. integra and on I. goshiensis were not found in some localoties within the distribution range of the host plants. A wide and common dostribution range of Asteralobia sasakii on I. crenata, I. crenata var. paludosa, and I. maximowicziana suggested a high dispersal ability of the species. Distribution patterns of Asteralobia soyogo on I. chinensis, I. integra, and I. pedunculosa indicated a possible host plant preference by the gall midge. An unidentified gall modge associated with I. warburgi is widely distributed in the Southwest Islands and gall dissection data as to age structure indicated that the gall midge might be different from A. sasakii.show more
