Gall forming Cynipini (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) species in Isparta Oak Forests
Abstract :This study was performed from 2017 to 2018 in Isparta province to
determinate gall forming Cynipini species on oak. Gall samples were collected
from different parts (trunk, young shoots, leaves, acorns and flowers) of
several oak species (Quercus cerris, Q.
ithaburensis, Q. vulcanica, Q. robur, Q. petraea, Q. trojana, Q. infectoria and Q. coccifera). We identified a total of 51
gall wasp species, 27 species were new records for Isparta province and two
species (Andricus miriami and Cynips israeli) were new records for Turkish
fauna. Number of gall wasp species was largest on Q. infectoria (24 species) and lowest on Q. coccifera (1 species).
