Using partial DNA sequence data from nuclear 28S and 18S genes and mitochondrial 16S and COI genes, we reconstructed a phylogeny of the family Eurytomidae. Both maximum parsimony and Bayesian methods were employed. The analysis revealed a significant incongruence between the mitochondrial genes and the nuclear genes, and we chose the results from the nuclear genes as our preferred hypothesis. O...

Ten Eurytomidae (Hymenoptera) parasitic wasp species described by Jean Brèthes and deposited in the Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales in Buenos Aires are treated and their nomenclature stabilized. The condition of the type material is described. Lectotypes are designated for Decatoma cecidosiphaga Brèthes, Prodecatoma parodii Brèthes, Eudecatoma opposita Brèthes, and Eurytoma caridei Brèthe...

A new species of the genus Mesopolobus Westwood, 1833, robiniae Lakatos & László sp. nov., is described and illustrated from east-central Europe (Romania Hungary). The was reared black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) seedpod samples, where it most likely parasitizes locust’s seed predator Bruchophagus Zerova, 1970. Here we present report on its ecological relationships within European com...

Yonca tohum kalsidi, Bruchophagus roddi Gussakovskiy, 1933 (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) önemli bir yonca (Medicago sativa L.) tohumu zararlısıdır. Çalışma, B. roddi’nin Doğu Anadolu Bölgesinde Iğdır, Ağrı, Kars ve Van illerinin yetiştirilen alanlarında tohumdaki bulaşıklık oranının belirlenmesi amacıyla ele alınmıştır. Tohum örneklemeleri, her iki yılda da Ağustos Eylül aylarında 76 tarlasında 20...
