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.

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] |
Bassettia
''Bassettia'' is a genus of gall wasps found in North America. Taxonomic history This genus was circumscribed by William Harris Ashmead in 1887. Ashmead named the genus after "Mr. H. F. Bassett, of Waterbury, Conn., who has done so much towards advancing our knowledge of these intricate Hymenopters". Two species were included in the genus's initial circumscription: ''B. floridana'', described in the same work, and '' B. tenuicornis''. Bassett had described the latter species in 1881, placing it in the genus ''Cynips''. Ashmead later designated ''B. floridana'' as the genus's type species In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specime .... Species A 2007 revision of the genus by G. Melika and W. G. Abrahamson recognizes the following eight species in this genus: * '' Bassettia ...

Cynips
''Cynips'' is a genus of gall wasps in the tribe Cynipini, the oak gall wasps. One of the best known is the common oak gall wasp (''Cynips quercusfolii''), which induces characteristic spherical galls about two centimeters wide on the undersides of oak leaves. As of 2008, there are about 39 species in this genus. Some authors have included '' Antron'' in ''Cynips'' but it was recently resurrected as a distinct genus.

Andricus
''Andricus'' is a genus of oak gall wasps in the family Cynipidae. Life cycle As in all Hymenoptera, sex-determination in species of the genus ''Andricus'' is governed by haplodiploidy: males develop from unfertilized eggs and are haploid, and females develop from fertilized eggs and are diploid. Many species in the genus alternate between an asexual generation and a sexual generation. Species The taxonomy of the genus ''Andricus'' is uncertain, with many of the approximately 375 species considered dubious. The following species are currently recognised in the genus ''Andricus'': * '' Andricus aciculatus'' Beutenmuller, 1909 * '' Andricus ahmeti'' Melika, Mutun & Dinç, 2014 * ''Andricus albicomus'' Weld, 1952 * '' Andricus albipes'' Hartig, 1840 * '' Andricus albobalani'' Weld, 1926 * '' Andricus alniensis'' Folliot, 1964 * ''Andricus amblycerus'' (Giraud, 1859) * ''Andricus amenti'' Giraud, 1859 * ''Andricus amphorus'' (Weld, 1926) * ''Andricus analis'' (Fonscolombe, 18 ...

Gall Wasp
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 Petiole (insect anatomy), wasp waist. The first abdominal tergum (the propodeum) is conjoined with the Thorax (insect anatomy), thorax, while the second abdominal segment forms a sort of shaft, the Petiole (insect anatomy), petiole. The petiole connects with the gaster (insect anatomy), 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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
