Updated species list of Cynipidae (Hymenoptera) from Turkey

Abstract

An updated species list of cynipids in Turkey and knowledge on their distribution and host plant/gall in the country are presented in this study. The present list has been based on previous studies in the literature and contains all reported cynipids from Turkey, including a new record (Andricus istvani Melika, 2008). In total, the Cynipidae in the Turkish fauna presently comprises 148 species in 25 genera and 9 tribes.

Investigation of the Antioxidant Activity and Phenolic Compounds of Andricus quercustozae Gall and Host Plant (Quercus infectoria)

“…The oak is known as one of the medicinal plants, which has been traditionally used in oriental folks [1,2]. The gall wasps or cynipids (Cynipidae), which are known as the gall inducers, is a large group with roughly 1400 species worldwide [3], and 151 cynipid species are also known from Turkey [4][5][6]. All cynipid species induce their galls on their host plant species, which are mostly the oaks (Fagaceae), Rosaceae, Lamiaceae, Asteraceae and Papaveraceae.…”

Andricus pseudocecconii sp. nova (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: Cynipini) from Iran

“…This is particularly true for the oak gall wasps, with many new species described (Melika & Stone, 2001;Melika et al, 2004;Azizkhani et al, 2006;Tavakoli et al, 2008;Sadeghi et al, 2009;Melika et al, 2011;Pujade-Villar et al, 2015). In addition, many new species have been described from Turkey, the neighboring geography of Iran (Azmaz & Katilmis, 2017, 2020a, 2020b, 2021a, 2021bDemirel et al, 2022;Mutun et al, 2014Mutun et al, , 2020. Here we describe a new species, Andricus pseudocecconii Melika, Tavakoli & Stone, sp.…”

Barbotinia oraniensis (Barbotin, 1964) (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) türünün Türkiye’den ilk kaydı

“…turcica Azmaz & Katılmış, 2020;A. turguti Azmaz & Katılmış, 2021;Fumariphilus hypecoi (Trotter, 1913); Liposthenes kerneri (Wachtl, 1891), Neaylax salviae (Giraud, 1859), Rhodus cyprius (Houard, 1919)), one species of Aylacini (Aylax minor Hartig, 1840) and three species of Phanacidini (Phanacis ciceki Azmaz & Katılmış, 2021; P. hypochoeridis (Kieffer, 1887); P. urhani Azmaz & Katılmış, 2021), as in many other places (Azmaz and Katılmış, 2017Buffington et al, 2020). In this article, the first record of Barbotinia oraniensis (Barbotin, 1964) (Cynipidae, Aylacini), spreading in the Mediterranean geography, is given from Turkey.…”
