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.
