Ceropres cerri Mayr, 1872

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Corse Bastilicaccia. Malaise trap, 31.V-7.VI.1996, 1 agamic ♀ (R2/MH) ( MNHN) ; 7-14.VI.1996, 1 agamic ♀ (R3/MS) ( MNHN). — Emergence trap, 21.VI.96, 1 agamic ♀ (R4/I 1) ( MNHN) .

REMARKS

This species is known from Austria, Andorra, Italy, Sicily, Hungary, Poland, Portugal and Spain (Dalla Torre & Kieffer 1910; Nieves- Aldrey & Pujade-Villar in press).

This species occurs in the mediterranean area and found in larval chambers galls in branches of evergreen Quercus spp. Ceroptres cerri has been reared from galls of Plagiotrochus amenti male, P. australis male, P. suberi (= pardoi) male and P. coriaceus male (Pujade-Villar & Ros-Farré 1998). It has also been observed in galls on Q. cerris in the center and South-East of Europe (Pujade-Villar & Nieves- Aldrey 1993; Nieves-Aldrey & Pujade-Villar in press). Judging from the above-mentioned data, Ceroptres cerri is probably an inquiline species of P. amenti agamic female in Corsica.
