Türkiye’de bulunan yeni bir Westralianus Boucek 1988 (Hymenoptera: Torymidae: Megastigminae) türünün tanımlanması

A new species of the Australian genus Westralianus Boucek (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea, Torymidae) is described from Altınözü, Hatay, Turkey. Some new diagnostic characters of the genus are provided by inclusion of a second species in the genus. The new species, W. altinoezus n.sp., is compared with the type species, W. microstigma Boucek 1988. The new species was recorded as a parasitoid of caterpillars of an unknown species of Lepidoptera living in galls of Gymnosporangium confusum (Uredinales: Pucciniaceae) on shoots of Crataegus monogyna Jacq. A description of the new species is provided and its diagnostic characters are photographed.Altınözü, Hatay, Türkiye’den yeni bir Westralianus (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea, Torymidae) türü, bu zamana kadar Avustralya cinsi olarak bilinen bu cinsin Palearktik Bölge için yeni kayıdı olarak bulunmuştur.

Türkiye'de yeni bir okaliptüs tohum gal arısı Quadrastichodella nova girault, 1922 (Eulophidae: Tetrastichinae)

The present study was carried out during 2006 and 2007 in a eucalyptus planted area in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. The eulophid species Quadrastichodella nova Girault (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae: Tetrastichinae) was collected on Eucalyptus spp. seed capsules for the first time in Turkey. This species induces galls on the seeds, attaining low levels of infestation. The plant species Eucalyptus camaldulensis L. (Myrtaceae) is reported as new host for Q. nova.Bu çalışma, 2006 ve 2007 yıllarında Akdeniz Bölgesi’nde okaliptüs yetiştirilen alanlarda yürütülmüştür. Eucalyptus spp. tohum kapsüllerinde Quadrastichodella nova Girault (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae: Tetrastichinae) ülkemizde ilk defa elde edilmiştir. Tohumlar üzerinde gal oluşturan bu türün enfeksiyonunun düşük düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Eucalyptus camaldulensis L. (Myrtaceae) bitkisinın Q. nova için yeni bir konukçu olduğu saptanmıştır

The species of Gugolzia (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea, Pteromalidae) in Europe and Turkey were reviewed, and an identification key for differentiating the species is provided. Newly discovered diagnostic characters of the genus were added to the diagnoses given by earlier authors. Species were recorded as parasitoids of phytophagous Eurytomidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea). New host and distributions are for Gugolzia harmolitae, which was reared from Tetramesa romana feeding on shoots of Arundo donax (Poaceae), Gugolzia karadagae n.sp. from Eurytoma plotnikovi feeding on fruits of Pistacia vera together with Megastigmus pistaciae (Chalcidoidea: Torymidae) in Gaziantep province, and Gugolzia melengicia n.sp. from fruits of Pistacia terebinthi together with M. pistaciae, Eurytoma sp., and Scophyla sp. (Eurytomidae) in Hatay province, Turkey. The new species are described, their diagnostic characters are illustrated by photographs, and biological data for the species are given.Gugolzia (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea, Pteromalidae) türleri yeniden ele alınarak çalışılmıştır. Cins için bazı yeni ayırt edici karakterler bulunmuş ve bu karakterler daha önceden diğer yazarlarca verilen karakterlere eklenmiştir. Cinsin Türkiye ve Avrupa türleri için teşhis anahtarı oluşturulmuştur. Gugolzia türleri fitofag Eurytomidae’lerin parazitoitleri olarak belirlenmiştir. Arundo donax (Poaceae) sürgünlerinde beslenen Tetramesa romana (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) ve bunun paraziti olan Gugolzia harmolitae konukçularından elde edilmiş ve Türkiye’de ilk kez bulunmuşlardır. Gaziantep İlinde Gugolzia karadagae n. sp. antepfıstığı meyvelerinde Megastigmus pistaciae (Hymenoptera. Torymidae) ile birlikte zarar yapan Eurytoma plotnikovi (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae)’den elde edilmiştir. Hatay İlinde diğer bir yeni tür olan Gugolzia melengicia n.sp.

Occurrence of fig wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) in Ficus caria and F. microcarpa in Hatay, Turkey

This study focuses on fig wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea), considering that only 2 fig wasp species, Blastophaga psenes (L.) and Philotrypesis caricae (L.) (new record) are associated with Ficus carica in Turkey. Five fig wasps species, namely Eupristina verticillata Waterston, Walkerella microcarpae Bouček, Odontofroggatia ishii Wiebes, Philotrypesis taiwanensis Chen, and Philotrypesis emeryi Grandi were found on Ficus microcarpa (L.), which is an Asian fig tree, and has been ornamentally cultivated in Turkey since the 1930s. Among them, E. verticillata was detected as a specific pollinator of F. microcarpa, the rest of the species were not pollinators, and all of them are new records for Turkey. The results suggest that the time of influx of these wasps into Turkey is unknown, but it can be assumed that they came together with F. microcarpa when it was brought from somewhere in the world during the period before the Hatay Republic. Distribution, biology, and systematic notes of each species are all given.This study focuses on fig wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea), considering that only 2 fig wasp species, Blastophaga psenes (L.) and Philotrypesis caricae (L.)
