Distribution.

China (Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Taiwan, Hunan, Guangdong, Yunnan). Korea ( Móczár 1998).

Host.

Nesodiprion japonica Marlatt ( Hymenoptera , Diprionidae ) ( Lin 1959; Móczár 1998).

Remarks.

Móczár (1998) designated the neotype based on the paratype of sjostedti deposited in NHMW. A closer examination of the type material (by Paolo Rosa) has revealed the original holotype in NHRS, thus Móczár’s neotype has consequently been set aside. Cleptes pinicola Lin was not listed in Kimsey and Bohart (1991). Móczár (1998) and Wei et al. (2013) have provided detailed descriptions.
