Synergus is a genus of gall wasp in the tribe Synergini. It is found worldwide. Species in Synergus are generally inquilines, which means they use the galls of other species of gall wasps.[2] Synergus uses the galls of Cynipini on oak trees.[3]
Species
[edit]As of 2024, there are at least 127 species in Synergus.[2] Notable species include:
- Synergus itoensis
- Only Synergus species known to induce its own gall.[4]
- Synergus japonicus
- Synergus vulgaris Hartig, 1840
- The type species for Synergus[3]
