Torymus auratus ( Müller, 1764) View in CoL
Global distribution. Nearctic (introduced) and Western Palaearctic (UCD community 2025).
Distribution in Algeria and North Africa. Recorded in Morocco ex Andricus quercustozae ( Bosc, 1792) (A) and Cynips quercus (Fourcroy, 1785) (A) ( Askew et al. 2013), and in Algeria ex Synophrus olivieri Kieffer 1898 by Kieffer (1897) under the name Torymus regius Nees, 1834 .
Material examined. Djebel El-Ghorra, Q. faginea , ex Andricus hispanicus ( Hartig, 1856) (A), 1.iv.2023: 1♀.
Note. We believe that Kieffer’s (1897) identification of Torymus auratus ( Müller, 1764) emerging from Synophrus olivieri galls in Algeria could be a mistaken identification of Torymus cerri , which was abundant in our rearings of S. olivieri but with no Torymus auratus ; this observation has also been reported in Tunisia by Pujade Villar et al. (2010).
