Cynipinae
Cynipinae is a subfamily of Gall wasp, gall wasps (Cynipidae). Many of the approximately 1,500 described species cause Gall, galls on Oak, oaks, but some induce galls on other plant species or are Inquiline, inquilines of the gall-inducing species. Species occur on all continents except Antarctica, with most found in the Temperate climate, temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, northern hemisphere. All Extant taxon, extant cynipid species are within Cynipinae since the only other recognized subfamily is Hodiernocynipinae which is based on the fossil genus ''Hodiernocynips''. Tribes There are 12 Tribe (biology), tribes currently recognized within Cynipinae: * Aylacini * Aulacideini * Ceroptresini * Cynipini, Cynipini (oak gall wasps) * Diastrophini * Diplolepidini, Diplolepidini (rose gall wasps) * Eschatocerini * Paraulacini * Pediaspidini * Phanacidini * Qwaqwaiini * Synergini References Cynipidae {{wasp-stub Hymenoptera subfamilies ...

Cynipidae
Gall wasps, also incorrectly called gallflies, are hymenopterans of the family Cynipidae in the wasp superfamily Cynipoidea. Their common name comes from the galls they induce on plants for larval development. About 1,300 species of this generally very small creature (1–8 mm) are known worldwide, with about 360 species of 36 different genera in Europe and some 800 species in North America. Features Like all Apocrita, gall wasps have a distinctive body shape, the so-called wasp waist. The first abdominal tergum (the propodeum) is conjoined with the thorax, while the second abdominal segment forms a sort of shaft, the petiole. The petiole connects with the gaster, which is the functional abdomen in apocritan wasps, starting with the third abdominal segment proper. Together, the petiole and the gaster form the metasoma, while the thorax and the propodeum make up the mesosoma. The antennae are straight and consist of two or three segments. In many varieties, the backside ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Synergini
Synergini is a tribe (biology), tribe of gall wasps in the subfamily Cynipinae. Genera The following genera are generally accepted within Synergini: * ''Agastoroxenia'' * ''Lithosaphonecrus'' * ''Saphonecrus'' * ''Rhoophilus'' * ''Synergus'' * ''Ufo (genus), Ufo'' All of these except ''Lithosaphonecrus'' and ''Rhoophilus'' are found in the eastern Palearctic realm. ''Synergus'' has the greatest number of species in Synergini. A reworking of the entire Cynipidae family published in 2015 transferred three genera formerly included in Synergini to other tribes - ''Ceroptres'' to a tribe of its own (Ceroptresini), and ''Periclistus'' and ''Synophromorpha'' to Diastrophini. Gall use Members of Synergini have lost the ability to create their own galls, and instead make use of galls left behind by other wasps. As a result, they are classified as inquilines.Melika G, Ros-Farré P, Pénzes Z, Ács Z, Pujade-Villar J 2005Ufo abei Melika et Pujade-Villar (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: ...

Tribe (biology)
In biology, a tribe is a taxonomic rank above genus, but below family and subfamily. It is sometimes subdivided into subtribes. By convention, all taxonomic ranks from genus upwards are capitalized, including both tribe and subtribe. In zoology, the standard ending for the name of a zoological tribe is "-ini". Examples include the tribes Caprini (goat-antelopes), Hominini (hominins), Bombini (bumblebees), and Thunnini (tunas). The tribe Hominini is divided into subtribes by some scientists; subtribe Hominina then comprises "humans". The standard ending for the name of a zoological subtribe is "-ina". In botany, the standard ending for the name of a botanical tribe is "-eae". Examples include the tribes Acalypheae and Hyacintheae. The tribe Hyacintheae is divided into subtribes, including the subtribe Massoniinae. The standard ending for the name of a botanical subtribe is "-inae". In bacteriology, the form of tribe names is as in botany, e.g., Pseudomonadeae, based on the ge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Diplolepidini
Diplolepidini is one of the twelve tribes of the gall wasp family (Cynipidae) and contains two genera ( ''Diplolepis'' and '' Liebelia'') with nearly 60 species. All species induce galls on roses (''Rosa'') in which the larva A larva (; plural larvae ) is a distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into adults. Animals with indirect development such as insects, amphibians, or cnidarians typically have a larval phase of their life cycle. The ...e live and feed.

Cynipini
Cynipini is a tribe of gall wasps. These insects induce galls in plants of the beech and oak family, Fagaceae. They are known commonly as the oak gall wasps.Melika, G., et al. (2013)A new genus of oak gallwasp, ''Cyclocynips'' Melika, Tang & Sinclair (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: Cynipini), with descriptions of two new species from Taiwan.''Zootaxa'' 3630(3), 534-48. It is the largest cynipid tribe, with about 936Medianero, E. and J. L. Nieves-Aldrey.

The tribe is mainly native to the Holarctic. Cynipini wasps can act as ecosystem engineers. Their galls can become hosts of inquilines, and the wasps themselves are hosts to parasitoids. Most of these wasps undergo cyclical parthenogenesis, sometimes reproducing sexually ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
