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.

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] |
Neuroterus
''Neuroterus'' is a genus of gall wasps that induce galls on oaks in which the wasp larvae live and feed. Some species produce galls that fall off the host plant and 'jump' along the ground due to the movement of the larvae within. ''Neuroterus saltatorius''—formerly named ''Cynips saltatorius''—produces such Mexican jumping bean-like jumping galls about 1 to 1.5 mm in diameter. This genus was first described by Theodor Hartig in 1840. Like most oak gall wasps, Neuroterus species have two generations each year, one sexual and one asexual (or agamic). The galls induced by each generation of the same species are usually produced on different parts of the host plant. Recent studies indicate this genus is poly- or paraphyletic, thus many species will likely be moved to other genera. Species include: *''Neuroterus albipes'' *''Neuroterus alexandrae'' *''Neuroterus aliceae'' *''Neuroterus anthracinus'' *''Neuroterus aprilinus'' *''Neuroterus bussae'' *''Neuroterus cerri ...

Cynips Quercusechinus
''Cynips quercusechinus'', the urchin gall wasp, is a species of gall wasp in the family Cynipidae. It induces its galls, which resemble sea urchins, on the leaves of oak trees. These galls are about 10mm in diameter. The galls fall with the leaves in autumn, and the larvae inside of them emerge as adults in the spring. This species was first described by Carl Robert Osten-Sacken in 1870 based on specimens from California California is a state in the Western United States, located along the Pacific Coast. With nearly 39.2million residents across a total area of approximately , it is the most populous U.S. state and the 3rd largest by area. It is also the m ....

Cynips Divisa
The red-pea gall or red currant gall develops as a chemically induced distortion arising from the underside of the mid-rib of a vein on ''Quercus'' species and it is attached by a short stalk or peduncle. The red-wart gall is the sexual phase of the same species. Cause The gall is caused by the parthenogenetic generation of ''Cynips divisa'', which has been known by the synonyms ''Diplolepis divisa'', ''Dryophanta divisa'' and ''Spathegaster verrucosus''. Appearance In appearance it is glossy and somewhat flattened sphere and from ten to fifteen or so may occur on a single leaf. The average size is and the colouring starts as green, passing to yellow, orange and then red-brown; the season is midsummer onwards. Circular emergence holes appear in the galls. Life cycle Many of the agamic imagines emerge in October. After overwintering, ''Cynips'' develops eggs parthenogenetically and their eggs develop in live buds as 'red-wart galls'. The infested buds become yellow, orange ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
