The community components associated with two common rose gall wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: Diplolepidini) in Turkey

Rose gall wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: Diplolepidini) are well-known gall-inducing insects onRosaspecies, and theirgalls support species-rich communities. During this investigation, gall samples ofDiplolepis fructuumandD. rosae , which are the twomost common rose gall wasps in Turkey, were collected in Gümüşhane, Tokat, Sivas, and Erzincan provinces. Fifteen species associatedwithD. fructuumand 12 species associated withD. rosaewere reared. These community members are mostly primary and secondaryparasitoids, along with seed- and gall-tissue feeders. The association betweenAximopsis collinaandD. rosaewas determined herefor the first time. InD. fructuumgalls,Pteromalus bedeguaris ,Eupelmus urozonus , andTorymus bedeguaris , and inD. rosaegalls,P. bedeguarisandPericlistus brandtiiwere the most common inhabitants among the community members excluding the gall wasps.Additionally, approximate emergence dates of the community members are given.
