Cynipidae Latreille, 1802

Notes

Liljeblad and Ronquist (1998), Ronquist (1999) and Ronquist et al. (2015) employed a series of monophyletic tribes, in the absence of strong evidence for relationships above this level. Synonymy for Cynipidae includes all names that have appeared in the British literature but does not necessarily include all Palaearctic names proposed as varieties or forms. For complete synonymy please see Melika (2006a) and Melika (2006b), also Nieves-Aldrey (2001). It should be borne in mind that future molecular studies may change our understanding of some species concepts and their alternating generations.
