Abstract

Büyük ölçüde Palearktik bölgede yayılış gösteren ve çoğunlukla Asteraceae familyasına ait bitkilerde mazı oluşturan Phanacidini (Cynipidae) kabilesine ait takson isimlerinin (cins ve tür) etimolojisi detaylı olarak ilk kez ele alınmıştır. Bu gruptaki türlerin isimlendirilmesinde ağırlıklı olarak konukçu bitkilerin temel alındığını açıkça ortaya konmuştur. Ayrıca hem cins hem de tür düzeyindeki adlandırmalarda, kişilere yapılan ithafların yanı sıra morfolojik özellikler ve coğrafi isimlerin de etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Phanacidini türlerinin çeşitliliği dikkate alındığında, bu türlerin bilimsel adlarına ilişkin etimolojik incelemeler değerli bir başvuru kaynağı sunmaktadır. Bu verilerin bir araya getirilmesi, doğru ve anlamlı bir isimlendirmenin bilimsel iletişimdeki ve biyolojik çeşitliliğin belgelenmesindeki rolü bakımından da büyük önem taşımaktadır.

Etymology of Phanacidini Taxa (Cynipoidea: Cynipidae)

Abstract

The etymology of taxon names (genera and species) within the tribe Phanacidini (Cynipidae), which predominantly occurs in the Palearctic region and primarily induces galls on plants of the family Asteraceae, is examined here in detail for the first time. It is clearly demonstrated that the naming of species in this group largely relies on their host plants. Additionally, both genus- and species-level names are influenced not only by dedications to individuals but also by morphological characteristics and geographic names. Given the diversity of Phanacidini species, etymological analyses of their scientific names provide a valuable reference resource. The compilation of these data is of great importance for understanding the role of accurate and meaningful nomenclature in scientific communication and the documentation of biodiversity.
