New records of oak gallwasps of the genus Andricus
(Burgsdorf, 1783) from Turkey (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae)
Yusuf Katlm, Suat Kyak
The number of valid species of oak gallwasps of the family Cynipidae recorded from Europe and contiguous territories, including North Africa and Turkey, is about 300 (NIEVES -ALDREY 2001, STONE et al. 2001). A recent study by STONE et al. (in press) reported 133 oak cynipids from the Western Palaearctic. Despite a high species diversity in Turkey, there are only relatively few records. Previous studies in Turkey mostly covered the oak gallwasps (tribe Cynipini) as forest pests (KATILMI & KIYAK 2008, KIYAK et al 2008, MELIKA & STONE 2001, MELIKA et al. 2004). KATILMI & KIYAK (2008) listed 81 species of Cynipidae
from Turkey, and another species was subsequently recorded as new to Turkey by KATILMI
& KIYAK (2009).
This study was carried out in the Inner Aegean region of Turkey in 2007 and 2008. Galls have been preserved in 70% alcohol and emerged adults pinned and dried. The material is deposited in the Zoology Museum of Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey.

The freshwater ostracod
Potamocypris producta (Sars, 1924)
new for Turkey (Ostracoda: Cyprididae)
Selçuk Altnsaçl, Songül Altnsaçl
The genus Potamocypris Brady, 1870 (Cyprididae, subfamily Cypridopsinae Kaufmann, 1900) is cosmopolitan (except in Australia) and consists of 13 species in Europe (MEISCH
1984, 1985). Potamocypris producta (Sars, 1924) is easily distinguished from other
Potamo-cypris species by its different carapace features and shape, for which reason MEISCH (2000) did not add this species to the list of European ostracod species. It is widely distributed over the whole African continent south of the Sahara (MARTENS 1984). Little is known of the ecology of P. producta.
Specimens of P. producta were collected from Karagöl Crater Lake (38°57’N, 26°50’E) in the zmir (Dikili County) Province in the North Aegean region. All the material was col-lected with a hand-net of 0.025 mm mesh size, and fixed in 4% formalin. In the laboratory the material was washed with water using sieves of 0.25, 0.16, 0.08 mm mesh size, and the material was preserved in 70% ethanol.Identification was made from soft parts prepared in
