Abstract: To expand knowledge on gall communities, we identified 10 species from 6 genera within the family Eulophidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) found in oak and rose galls (formed by Cynipidae and Diplolepididae) collected in northeastern Anatolia. The eulophid parasitoids identified in this study represent new associate records for the gall wasp species examined. Additionally, Euderus albitarsis (Zetterstedt, 1838), Stepanovia rosae Boyadzhiev and Todorov, 2013, and Aprostocetus levadiensis Graham, 1987 are recorded for the first time in the fauna of Türkiye.
