Cynipencyrtus flavus Ishii, 1928.

Distribution Palaearctic: China, Japan.
Biology Cynipencyrtus flavus is a parasitoid of the Oriental Chestnut Gall Wasp, Dryocosmus kuriphilus (Cynipidae), a global pest of chestnut (Castanea), and also attacks Andricus species (Cynipidae) forming galls on Quercus serrata (Fagaceae) (Tachikawa, 1973, 1978; Ito and Hijii, 2000; Yasumatsu, K. & Kamijo, K. 1979).
