tinct species or a synonym of A. quercuscalicis. KlEFFER (1897-1901), DALLA TORRE & KlEFFER (1910) treated A beyerincki as a distinct species. In DALLA TORRE & KlEFFER (1910) A beyerincki and A. quercuscalicis (= cerri) are keyed out in different couplets - central portion of the propodeum of A. beyerincki with bent lateral carinae, while in A. quercuscalicis propodeal lateral carinae are par­allel. However, examination of large series of specimens of both species showed that the propodeal lateral carinae in A. quercuscalicis are bent in the same way as in A. beyerincki. We found no other morphological characters on the basis of which these two species can be distinguished and, thus, A. beyerincki is a syn. n. of A. quercuscalicis. - Alternate uni- and bisexual generations are known (BEYERINCK 1897). The unisexual generation induces catkin galls on Q. cerris (Figs 43a-c); bisexual generation: acorn galls on Q. robur (Figs 43d-e). AMBRUS (1974a) mentioned the unisexual galls from Q. petraea and Q. pubescens. However, these records must be confirmed. quercuscorticis (LINNAEUS, 1761)- Synonyms: unisexual generation: Cynips quercus corticis LINNAEUS, 1761, Cynips corticis: HARTIG 1840, Aphilothrix corticis: FOERSTER 1869, Andricus corticis: MAYR 1882, Andricus quercus-corticis: DALLA TORRE & KlEFFER 1910, Andricus quercuscorticis: BENSON, 1953, Andricus krajnovici TAVARES, 1901 (PUJADE-VlLLAR & ROS-FARRÉ 2000, in print); bisexual generation: Andricus gemmatus ADLER, 1881, Neuroterus brevicornis HARTIG, 1841 (PUJADE-VILLAR & ROSS-FARRÉ 2000, in print). In the NHMV we found one female of A. krajnovici, labelled as "Port. Coll. G. Mayr", "A. Krajnovici, det. Tav. Type" and a handwritten label "Typ. Tavar. 902". Tavares' collection was destroyed and supposedly this speci­men originated from the type series. GM designated this specimen as a lectotype of A. krajnovici. NIEVES-ALDREY (1983) mentioned that the scutum of A. krajnovici is more pubescent and punctu­ated than in the unisexual females of A. quercuscorticis. However, examination of the A. krajnovici type and a large series of the unisexual A. quercuscorticis showed us no significant differences be­tween two species, thus, we consider A. krajnovici as a synonym of A. quercuscorticis. - Alternate uni- and bisexual generations are known (ADLER 1881, FOLLlOT 1964). The bisexual generation in­duces galls on the bark of shoots (Figs 44a-c), the unisexual generation produces galls on leaf axils or among clustered buds on Q. petraea, Q. pubescens, Q. robur, and Q. cerris. quercusradicis (FABRICIUS, 1798) - Synonyms: unisexual generation: Cynips quercus radicis FABRICIUS, 1798, Cynips radicis: HARTIG 1841, Aphilothrix radicis: MAYR 1870, Andricus radicis: MAYR 1882, Andricus quercusradicis: DALLA TORRE & KlEFFER 1910; bisexual generation: Andricus trilineatus HARTIG, 1840, Andricus noduli HARTIG, 1840, Neuroterus parasiticus HARTIG, 1841 (Pu JADE-VILL AR & ROSS-FARRÉ 1999, in print.), Cynips noduli: KALTENBACH 1867, Andricus trilineatus var. beirensis TAVARES, 1902 (PUJADE-VlLLAR & ROSS-FARRÉ 1999, in print), Andricus quercusradicis var. beirensis: DALLA TORRE & KlEFFER 1910. - Alternate uni- and bisex­ual generations are known (ADLER 1881, FOLLlOT 1964). The bisexual generation induces root galls on all oaks, except Q. cerris (Figs 45d-e); the unisexual generation produces galls on bark of shoot, leaf petiole or midrib on all oaks, most frequently on Q. cerris (Figs 45a-c). quercusramuli (LINNAEUS, 1761) - Synonyms: unisexual generation: Cynips autumnalis HARTIG, 1840, Aphilothrix autumnalis: MAYR 1870, Andricus autumnalis: MAYR 1882; bisexual generation: Cynips quercus ramuli LINNAEUS, 1761, Andricus ramuli: SCHENCK 1863, Andricus quercusramuli: DALLA TORRE & KlEFFER 1910, Teras amenlorum HARTIG, 1843, Andricus amentorum: SCHENCK 1863. - KlEFFER (1899) described a new variety, Andricus ramuli var. trifasciaia KlEFFER from the Iberian Peninsula, characterized by 14-segmented antenna in males, with bent propodeal carinae and different colouration in both sexes. Later, this variety was erected to subspecies level (DALLA TORRE & KlEFFER 1910). Probably this subspecies could be identical with A. quercusramuli quercusramuli, but the unisexual form {'autumnalis') has never been collected on the Iberian Peninsula. For this reason we think it is better to respect this subspecific denomination be­cause an occurrence of a sibling species on the Iberian Peninsula is possible. - Alternate uni- and bi-
