Synergini is a tribe of tropical gall wasps in the subfamily Cynipinae.[1][2]
Genera
The following genera are generally accepted within Synergini:[3]
All of these except Lithosaphonecrus and Rhoophilus are found in the eastern Palearctic realm.[3] Synergus has the greatest number of species in Synergini.[6]
A proposed reworking of the entire Cynipidae family published in 2015 transferred Ceroptres to a tribe of its own, and Periclistus and Synophromorpha to the tribe Diastrophini. In this proposed revision, Agastoroxenia, Lithonecrus, Lithosaphonecrus, Rhoophilus, Saphonecrus, Synophrus, Synergus, Ufo remain within Synergini.[7]
Gall use
Members of Synergini have lost the ability to create their own galls, and instead make use of galls left behind by other wasps. As a result, they are classified as inquilines.[8] Species in Synergini usually make use of galls left by wasps in tribe Cynipini.[6] Members of genus Periclistus reside in rose-cynipid galls, Synophromorpha on galls in Rubus plants, and the remainder in oak-cynipid galls.[3]
