Abstract

The species of Synophromorpha Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) are reviewed. One new species is described (Synophromorpha kaulbarsi; type locality: Naupan, Puebla, Mexico). The previously described species (S. rubi Weld, S. sylvestris (O.S.), and S. terricola Weld) are redescribed, and a key to species is presented. All species are illustrated for the first time. Synophromorpha sylvestris is designated type-species for the genus and a lectotype is chosen. Hypotheses on the phylogenetic relationships between the species of Synophromorpha are presented.

Résumé

On a révisé les espèces du genre Synophromorpha Ashmead (Hymenoptera : Cynipidae). On a décrit une espèce : Synophromorpha kaulbarsi, avec Naupan, Pueblo, Mexique, comme localité type. On a redécrit les espèces déjà décrites (S. rubi Weld, S. sylvestris (O.S.) et S. terricola Weld), et on a construit une clé à l’espèce. Pour la première fois, on a illustré toutes les espèces. Synophromorpha sylvestris est désignée espèce type du genre et on a choisi un lectotype. On émet des hypothèses sur les relations phylogénétiques entre les espèces de Synophromorpha.
