Parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) found in Cynipid (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) Galls

Abstract

Field studies were conducted between 2018 and 2019 in Antalya province in order to reveal the parasitoid wasps associated with cynipid galls (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae). As a result of these studies, a total of 13 parasitoid wasp species were identified belonging to four families; Eupelmidae, Eurytomidae, Torymidae, and Ormyridae. Among them, Torymus scutellaris (Walker, 1833) is a new record for Turkey. Data are given on the distribution of the species, their associated galls, and host plants.

Sinipid (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) mazılarında tespit edilen parazitoid arılar (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea)

Abstract

Mazı arılarıyla (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) ilişkili parazitoid arıları tespit etmek amacıyla 2018-2019 yılları arasında Antalya ilinde arazi çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmalar sonucunda, dört familyaya (Eupelmidae, Eurytomidae, Torymidae ve Ormyridae) ait toplam 13 parazitoid arı türü tespit edilmiştir. Bu türlerden Torymus scutellaris (Walker, 1833) Türkiye için yeni kayıttır. Türlerin dağılımları, ilişkili oldukları mazılar ve konukçu bitkileri verilmektedir.
