Özet
Studies were carried out on the galls formed by Apiomyia bergenstammi (Wa.) on buds and/or twigs of pear trees, in Yayladagi, Senkoy, and Belen, Hatay province, Turkey in 2003. The pest was introduced into Hatay province at least 5 years ago. It produces one generation a year and hibernates as larvae in the galls. In Yayladagi, Senkoy and Belen, 20, 18 and 5%, respectively, of buds/twigs of pear trees were attacked by A. bergenstammi. Each of the galls contained on average 9.6 +/- 0.5 (range: 6-11) larval chambers. Adults were reared from galls collected at the beginning of spring, viz. A. bergenstammi emerged in the first half of April 2003, Oxyglypta rugosa Ruschka (Hym., Pteromalidae) and Torymus apiomyiae Boucek & Mihajlovic (Hym., Torymidae) (a new record for Turkey) emerged in the second half of April. Other chambers contained unemerged adults of Platygaster sp. (Hym., Platygasteridae). Natural parasitism rates obtained by dissecting 10 galls from Yayladagi and Senkoy in 2003 were: 26.6 +/- 4.4% by O. rugosa and 10.0 +/- 3.2% by Platygaster sp. The parasitism rate by T. apiomyiae was 16.6% as determined from the galls collected from Belen.
