This species was described from north-eastern China (Beijing Province, Mentougou District, 150 km NW of Beijing), reared from unknown cynipid acorn, leaf and bud galls ( Melika et al. 2004). It was later found by one of the authors (GM) in South Korea ( Abe et al. 2007). Kovalev (1965) mentioned S. gallaepomiformis (Boyer de Fonscolombe) for the Far East of Russia, which was reared from asexual galls of Andricus hakonensis (= A. symbioticus , = A. attractus ). We strongly doubt this identification. On the basis of the adult description given by Kovalev, these specimens belong to S. chinensis ( Abe et al. 2007) . Synergus chinensis falls into a subclade with S. symbioticus and can be easily distinguished from the latter by some strong diagnostic characters given in the key and in the Diagnosis to S. symbioticus . Currently known from China, South Korea and Russia.
