Are Callirhytid erythrostoma (Dettmer, 1933) and C. erythrosoma (Dettmer, 1933) synonyms of Callirhytis erythrocephala (Giraud, 1859) or different species? (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: Cynipini)

A new heteroecious life-cycle of an oak cynipid gallwasp
Callirhytis erythrocephala (Giraud, 1859)
(Hymenoptera, Cynipidae: Cynipini) has been
closed experimentally. Callirhytis hartigi Förster,
1869 is a syn. nov. of C. erythrocephala. The sexual
galls induced by C. erythrocephala are described for
the first time. The sexual female and male of C.
erythrocephala are re-described, and morphological
characters of adults for the differentiation of the
sexual form from other sexual forms of Callirhytis
species are also given. It is questionable whether
Callirhytis erythrosoma is synonymous with C.
erythrocephala or represents a distinct species.
