1943, Melika & Bechtold 1999, 2001, Melika et al. 2000, and many others). See also Material examined of A. infectorius. Also the material collected in the Iberian Peninsula and in Southern France and which referred to "A. gallaetinctoriae" appeared to belong partially to Andri­cus hispanicus (see below on comments to A. hispanicus). Andricus hispanicus (Hartig, 1856) ? Diplolepis gallaetinctoriae Olivier, 1791: 280. Female, gall. See also comments to A. gallaetincto­riae. Cynips hispanica Hartig, 1856: 373. Gall. Andricus kollari (Hartig): Hartig 1843. Misidentifications of specimens collected in the Iberian Pen­insula, South France and North Africa, made by different authors. Cynips kollari minor Kieffer 1900: 570. Female, gall. New synonym. Andricus hispanica (Hartig, 1856): Pujade-Villar, Bellido, Segu & Melika 2001. Type material - The lectotype gall herein is designated. Two galls in Hartig's collection in the ZSMC (Munich), with pink label "Cynips picta Hartig, Diller 1999, Zoologische Staatssammlg. München" (labels were confused), red label "Lectotype Cynips hispanica Hartig, 1856, desig. Bel­lido & Pujade-Villar 2002", white label "Andricus hispanica (Hartig, 1856) Bellido & Pujade-Villar, det. 2002". The lectotype is the left gall and the paralectotype is the right one. The original descrip­tion of A. hispanicus gall agree with these galls, collected in Sierra de Ronda (Spain). Although the labels refer to other species, described by Hartig from the same site (see comments in Pujade-Villar & Bellido 2000). Material examined - 21 females labelled as "Cynips tinctoria" from Lichtenstein coll., depos­ited in the MNHN, Paris; 1 female labelled as "Cynips kollari" from Mayr coll., deposited in NHMW, Vienna; 132 females and over 1000 galls from Pujade-Villar coll., deposited at the UB, Barcelona; 42 females and over 100 galls from Bellido coll., deposited in pers.coll. All the material was collected in the Iberian Peninsula and Southern France. Redescription - See A. kollari below. Gall is identical to A. kollari gall, although can strongly vary in shape and size. Usually the gall is spherical and smooth, however, "protuberances" of differ­ent length can protrud from the surface. Galls attacked by parasitoids and/or inquilines during the initial phases of development could present strange forms and are strongly undersized (Pujade-Villar 1992), however, sometimes also gall-inducer cynipids can emerge from small galls (up to 8 mm in diameter) (pers. obs.). Diagnosis - Sibling species of A. kollari, distributed in Central and Eastern Europe. The asexual females cannot be distinguished morphologically from A. kollari (see A. kollari redescription below). The morphological variability in A. hispanicus adults is high, as it is mentioned also for A. kollari below. For example,
