Melika, G., Csóka, Gy. ; Pujade-Villar, J.: Check-list of oak gall wasps of Hungary, with some taxonomic notes (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae, Cynipinae, Cinipini)

eration is known to induces bud galls on Q. petraea, Q. pubescens, Q. robur, and Q. farnetto. In Hungary it was collected only in the Kőszeg Mts. (AMBRUS 1974a, GM) (Figs 59a-b). trotten KlEFFER, 1898. - Only the unisexual generation is known to induce bud galls on Q. robur and Q. pubescens. Rare in Hungary (Figs 60a-b). truncicolus (GlRAUD, 1859) - Synonyms: Cynips truncicola GlRAUD, 1859, Adleria truncicola: ROHWER & FAGAN 1917, Andricus truncicola: BENSON 1953. - Only the unisexual generation is known to induce galls on accessory buds on branches of old trees on Q. petraea, Q. pubescens, and Q. robur (Figs 61a-c). vindobonensis MUELLNER, 1901 - Only the bisexual generation is known to induce catkin galls on Q. cerris (Figs 62a-b). Aphelonyx MAYR, 1881 cerricola (GlRAUD, 1859) - Synonyms: Cynips cerricola GlRAUD, 1859, Aphelonyx cerricola: MAYR 1881. - Only the unisexual generation is known to induce bud galls on Q. cerris (Figs 63a-b). Biorhiza WESTWOOD, 1840 pallida (OLIVIER, 1791 ) - Synonyms: bisexual generation: Diplolepis pallidas OLIVIER, 1791, Diplolepis gallae cerebriformis ANTHOINE, 1794, Diplolepis gallae alveariformis ANTHOINE, 1794, Cynips quercus terminális FABRICIUS, 1798, Diplolepis quercus terminális: BOYER DE FONSCOLOMBE 1832, Teras terminális: HARTIG 1840, Diplolepis terminális: MARSHALL 1867, Dryoteras terminális: FÖRSTER 1869, Andricus terminális: MAYR 1871, Biorhiza terminális: MAYR 1881, Biorhiza pallida: KlEFFER 1898; unisexual generation: Cynips aptera BOSC, 1791, Cynips optera FABRICIUS, 1793, Apophyllus apterus: HARTIG 1840, Biorhiza aptera: MAYR 1870. - The variability of this species is high, both chromatically and morphologically and especially in apterous bisexual forms. Biorhiza pallida codinae TAVARES, 1928 and Biorhiza pallida lusitanica TAVARES, 1928 were described on the basis of chromatic differences only and which are of no diagnostic value (PUJADE-VlLL

AR 1991), thus, we consider Biorhiza pallida codinae TAVARES and Biorhiza pallida lusitanica TAVARES as syn. n. of B. pallida. Another subspecies, Biorhiza pallida hispanica TAVARES, 1928, has a different number of antennái flagellomeres than the typical form. One of the authors (JP-V) has studied specimens of Biorhiza pallida from the VILLARRUBIA collection (MZB), which emerged from the same gall, and the number of antennái segments in the females varied from 14 to 15 (PUJADE-VlLLAR 1991 ). For this reason, we consider Biorhiza pallida hispanica TAVARES as a syn. n. of B. pallida. Finally, Biorhiza pallida mirbeckii (MARSHALL) (DALLA TORRE & KlEFFER 1910) collected in Algeria, probably, is another variation of the typical form which is characterized by the presence of apterous females only and with predominantly black colour of the body. We have not studied material on this subspecies and, thus, we prefer to keep the status of this taxon till material for study will be available. - Alternate uni- and bisexual generations are known (ADLER 1881, FOLLlOT 1964). The unisexual generation induces galls at the end of shoots (Figs 64a-b), bisexual generation: on roots on Q. robur and Q. petraea mainly, also on Q. pubescens and Q. farnetto, less frequently on Q. cerris (Figs 64c-d).
