Remarks
Up to date, nine species of Cecidophyes have been known infesting Quercus spp.: Cecidophyes caliquerci (Keifer, 1944) infesting Quercus lobata Nee and Quercus marilandica Muen., Cecidophyes digephyrus Keifer, 1966 infesting Quercus vaccinifolia Kell., Cecidophyes lyrata Keifer, 1959 infesting Quercus lyrata Walt., Cecidophyes pusilla Keifer, 1962 infesting Quercus falcata Michx, Cecidophyes quercialbae Keifer, 1959 infesting Quercus alba L., Cecidophyes querciphagus (Keifer, 1939) infesting Quercus sp., Cecidophyes reticulatus Livshitz, Mitrofanov et Vasil’yeva, 1979 infesting Quercus pubescens Willd., C. tampae Keifer, 1966 infesting Quercus virginiana and Cecidophyes tristernalis (Nalepa, 1898) infesting Quercus cerris L. Among them, only one species, Cecidophyes tampae occurred in China. Cecidophyes digephyrus is second Cecidophyes species from China (Keifer 1939[1], 1944[2], 1959a[3], b[4], 1962, 1966; Livshitz et al. 1979[5]; Nalepa 1898[6]; Xue et al. 2009[7]).
