Two New Records of Oak Gall Wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) from Türkiye

Two new records for the Turkish oak gall wasp fauna (Cynipidae: Cynipini) were recorded during a field study conducted in Burdur province, located in southwestern Türkiye. Andricus cryptobius Wachtl, 1880, and Dryocosmus destefanii Cerasa & Melika, 2018, were found for the first time on Quercus trojana Webb, a native oak species that is prevalent in this region. These new records expand the known diversity of cynipid species in Türkiye, enhancing knowledge of the oak gall wasp fauna and extending the known global distribution of these species. Data regarding the occurrence of the recorded species in Türkiye, their global distribution, and host plants are provided

Abstract

Two new records for the Turkish oak gall wasp fauna (Cynipidae: Cynipini) were recorded during a field study conducted in Burdur province, located in southwestern Türkiye. Andricus cryptobius Wachtl, 1880, and Dryocosmus destefanii Cerasa & Melika, 2018, were found for the first time on Quercus trojana Webb, a native oak species that is prevalent in this region. These new records expand the known diversity of cynipid species in Türkiye, enhancing knowledge of the oak gall wasp fauna and extending the known global distribution of these species. Data regarding the occurrence of the recorded species in Türkiye, their global distribution, and host plants are provided
