Some records of parasitoid wasps associated with gall wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) in Istanbul, Turkey
Abstract :Cynipid
galls, represent physically bounded microcosms for parasitoid wasps along with
other inhabitants of galls, such as gall wasps and phytophagous inquilines. In
the current work, 11 parasitoid species and one seed-feeder were identified
belonging to five families; Eurytomidae, Ormyridae, Pteromalidae, Torymidae,
and Ichneumonidae. The species Torymus
cerri Mayr and T. notatus
(Walker) are new records for Turkey. In addition, some new associations between
parasitoid wasp species and host cynipid galls were recorded
