Abstract
Larvae of Cimbex quadrimaculata (Müller 1766) (Hymenoptera: Cimbicidae) are grayish and black markings. The larval head capsule is black in the first larval instars. It is a pest mainly on almonds but also feeds on apricots, peaches, pears, and cherries in Turkey. There has been no documentation of this species causing severe defoliation in areas where it has been observed. Observations were continued in the orchard until the end. The larvae fed on the edges of the leaves by consuming the whole leaf laminae or leaving only the midrib. The aim of this mini-review was to describe the distribution, life history, and biology of the almond sawfly (Hymenoptera Cimbicidae). Indexed articles, scientific book chapters, theses databases, university dissertations, national and international scientific articles, scientific journals, documents, and academic and scientific journals are available online ResearchGate, HAL, SSRN, Scielo, and Qeios were used. The present work uses the reference of bibliographical research, understood as the act of inquiring and seeking information on a certain subject, through a survey carried out in national and foreign databases, with the objective of detecting what exists of consensus or controversy.
