Abstract

Oak cynipid galls were collected between 2006-2019 to reveal species diversity of oak gall wasps (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae, Cynipini) in Bolu. Collected galls were brought to laboratory and kept at room temperature in jars covered by tulle until adult cynipid wasps emerged. As a result, 44 species from 8 genera showed that Andricus is the most specious genus with 26 species. Our results indicate that Bolu bears high gall wasp species diversity. In this study, new distribution ranges are provided for most of the cynipid species previously reported for Turkey.
