Abstract

first account of the cynipid fauna of Jordan is given. Most samples were collected in the Jordan highlands on Quercus calliprinos Webb., Q. ithaburensis (Decne.) Boiss., and Q. boissieri Reut. 17 species of Cynipidae are listed, all recorded for the first time in this country. The gall of Hedickiana levantina (Hedicke) is illustrated and taxonomic comments are provided on this poorly known species. Taxonomic and biological comments are also given on other interesting species on the list, particularly on “Andricus miriami” Sternlicht, 1968, a species of uncertain status recorded from Israel.

Kurzfassung

Es wird eine erste Übersicht über die Gallwespenfauna Jordaniens gegeben. Das meiste Material wurde im jordanischen Hochland auf den Eichen Quercus calliprinos Webb., Q. ithaburensis (Decne.) Boiss. und Q. boissieri Reut. gesammelt. Es werden 17 Arten von Cynipiden aufgeführt, die alle neu für das Land sind. Die Galle der wenig bekannten Hedickiana levantina (Hedicke) wird abgebildet und taxonomisch bewertet. Taxonomische und biologische Anmerkungen werden auch zu anderen interessanten Arten gemacht, besonders zu “Andricus miriami” Sternlicht, 1968, einer Art, die aus Israel bekannt ist und deren Status noch der Klärung bedarf.
