Parasitoids complex of the olive leaf gall midges, Dasineura oleae (Angelini 1831) and Lasioptera oleicola Skuhravá, 2011 (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in Hatay Turkey, with descriptions of new genus and species from Tetrastichinae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae)

Abstract

Two species of gall midges, Dasineura oleae (Angelini 1831) and Lasioptera oleicola Skuhravá 2011 (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), on leaves and shoots of Olea europea L. were reared in Hatay Province, Turkey in 2007-2010. In the study as main mortality factors of the gall midges were 11 species of larval/pupal parasitoids from 5 families of Hymenoptera, Platygasteridae: Platygaster oleae Szelenyi 1940, Eupelmidae: Eupelmus urozonus Dalman 1820, Torymidae: Torymus phillyreae Ruschka 1921, Pteromalidae: Mesopolobus mediterraneus (Mayr 1903), M. diffinis (Walker 1834), M. aspilus (Walker 1835), Eulophidae: Anaprostocetus acuminatus (Ratzeburg 1848), Quadrastichus dasineurae Doğanlar et al. 2009, Aprostocetus samandagus sp.new, Aprostocetus lasiopteru sp.new, Zeytinus hatayensis gen.and sp. new. The new taxa were described and their diagnostic characters and some biological data are gIven. An identification key for the parasites was provided.

Hatay-Türkiye’de zeytin yaprak gal sinekleri Dasineura oleae (Angelini, 1831) ve Lasioptera oleicola Skuhravá 2011 (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)’nin parazitoit kompleksi, Tetrastichinae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae)’den yeni bir cins ve türlerin tanımlanması

Hatay İli- Türkiye’de 2007-2010 yılları arasında yapılan çalışmada Zeytin ağacı Olea europea L.’nın sürgün ve yapraklarında oluşturulan galler toplanarak laboratuar koşullarında kültüre alınmışlardır. Bu gallerden iki gal sineği, Dasineura oleae (Angelini, 1831) ve Lasioptera oleicola Skuhravá, 2011 (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) elde edilmiştir. Bu gal sineklerinin poopülasyonlarını baskı altında tutan en önemli ölüm faktörleri olarak Hymenoptera takımına giren 5 familyadan 11 tür larva veya pupa parazitoiti olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu parazitoitler: Platygasteridae: Platygaster oleae Szelenyi, 1940, Eupelmidae: Eupelmus urozonus Dalman, 1820, Torymidae: Torymus phillyreae Ruschka, 1921, Pteromalidae: Mesopolobus mediterraneus (Mayr, 1903), Mesopolobus diffinis (Walker, 1834), Mesopolobus aspilus (Walker, 1835), Eulophidae: Anaprostocetus acuminatus (Ratzeburg, 1848), Quadrastichus dasineurae Doğanlar et al., 2009, Aprostocetus samandagus n.sp., Aprostocetus lasiopterus sp. new Zeytinus hatayensis gen. and sp. new. Çalışmada yeni taxa tanımlanmış, bunların ayırt edici özellikleri ve bazı biyolojik bilgileri verilmiştir. Ayrıca bütün parazitoitler için bir teşhis anahtarı oluşturulmuştur.
