Abstract

Hoplocampoides longiserrus n. sp. is described from Japan. The larva makes a leaf gall on Weigela decora (Caprifoliaceae). This is the first recorded sawfly to make leaf galls on plants other than the Salicaceae. The female lays one or two eggs into a young leaf of the host in early spring. The mature larva leaves the bean-shaped gall by mid-summer and makes a fragile cocoon in the ground to overwinter.
