CONFERENCIAS MAGISTRALES LAS AGALLAS DE LOS ENCINO: UN ECOSISTEMA EN MINIATURA QUE HACE POSIBLE ESTUDIOS MULTIDISCIPLINARES Juli Pujade-Villar. Universitat de Barcelona, Facultat de Biologia, Departament de Biologia Animal. Avda. Diagonal 645, 08028-Barcelona, Spain. E-mail: [email protected] RESUMEN. Desde que en el siglo XVII el italiano Marcelo Malpighi (Crevalcore, 1628 - Roma, 1694) descubriera la relación causa-efecto entre un insecto y su agalla, numerosos naturalistas y científicos han centrado sus esfuerzos en estas estructuras vegetales, hasta hacer de la Cecidología (Ciencia que se ocupa del estudio de las agallas de las plantas) una ciencia de ámbito multidisciplinar que se asienta en estudios ecológicos, morfológicos y estructurales, etiológicos, taxonómicos, faunísticos, histológicos, fisiológicos, genéticos, etc. En este estudio se hará un repaso de que son las agallas y de los distintos estudios que pueden realizarse a partir de las agallas producidas por los Cynipidae (Hymenoptera). Palabras Clave: agallas, encinos, ecosistema, estudios. The oak galls: a miniature ecosystem which makes possible multidisciplinary studies ABSTRACT. Since the Italian Marcelo Malpighi (Crevalcore, 1628 - Roma, 1694) discovered the cause and effect relationship between an insect and its gall in the XVII century, many naturalists and scientists have focused their efforts in these plant structures to make for the Cecidology (science that deals with the study of plants galls) a multidisciplinary science based on different branches: ecologic, morphological, structural, etiologic, taxonomic, faunistic, histologic, physiologic, genetic, etc. In this work a review of what the galls are and the diverse studies which can be carried out from the Cynipidae (Hymenoptera) galls is made. Key words: galls, oaks, ecosystem, studies. -

Debido al carácter atlántico del clima y la vegetación, los elementos septentrionales (25,1%) suponen una proporción mucho mayor que los mediterráneos (7,8%). Los endemismos ibéricos son bastan- te abundantes (14,8%) y aparecen numerosas especies típicas de áreas montañosas, datos que indican un alto grado de conservación de esta zona de baja altitud.

Beetles (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) M. Sláma

Sláma U Školské zahrady 718/3, 182 00 Praha 8- Kobylisy, Czechia e-mail: [email protected] Key words: taxonomy, Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, new subspecies, Agapanthia, Tetrops. Abstract: Agapanthia asphodeli balcanica ssp. n. from Greece and Tetrops gilvipes mikati ssp. n. from Slovakia are decsribed. Many years ago, when I collected Agapanthia asphodeli (Latreille, 1804), specimens caught in France exerted obvious differences from those found in Greece. Differences between the nominotopical form collected in France (Figs 1-2) and imagines collected in Greece were particularly distinct in photographs. A description of the new subspecies Agapanthia asphodeli balcanica ssp. n. from Greece is thus presented here. The description of Tetrops gilvipes mikati ssp. n. is based on a series of specimens caught in East Slovakia many years ago, which was published by me before (Sláma, 2018) as Tetrops gilvipes adlbaueri Lazarev, 2012 - new to Slovakia. Several abbreviations are used in the text: MM - collection of Miroslav Mikát (Hradec Králové, Czech Republic). NMP - National Museum (Prague, Czech Republic).
