About this book

Language: English

The family Gasteruptiidae, also known as carrot wasps, is a small cosmopolitan group of wasps with about 500 described species. Gasteruptiidae are traditionally classified in the superfamily Evanioidea, together with the Aulacidae and Evaniidae. Gaste­ruptiidae are easily recognized by the elongated neck, the swo­llen hind tibiae and the highly attached slender metasoma. Adults are free-living insects mainly feeding on nectar on flowers with easi­ly accessible nectar and may be seen hovering in front of bee nests. The larvae feed on the larval food of solitary bees, after consuming the egg or larva of the bee.

All known gasteruptiids from the Palaearctic Region belong to the genus Gasteruption Latreille, 1796. In Review of Gasteruption Latreille (Hymenoptera, Gasteruptiidae) from Iran and Turkey, with the description of 15 new species the species from North Iran and Turkey are revised, keyed and fully illustrated for the first time; 15 species are new for science. In total 36 species are treated of which 33 are recorded from Turkey and 23 from Iran.
