[ES] Aulacidea kiefferi Cotte, 1915, un cinípido que induce la formación de agallas en la planta Carthamus lanatus L., conocido tan solo por una única antigua cita de Francia, se ha redescubierto en el centro de España, en el sureste de la Comunidad de Madrid. En este estudio se redescribe la hembra adulta y la agalla de la especie, incluyendo una descripción nueva del macho y del último estado larval. Se transfiere la especie al género Phanacis, y se aporta una clave de identificación de las especies europeas afines del género Phanacis. P. kiefferi puede potencialmente utilizarse en el control biológico de su planta hospedadora, el cártamo lanoso, una maleza invasora nociva, nativa de la región mediterránea, que presenta en la actualidad una distribución virtualmente cosmopolita.
[EN] Aulacidea kiefferi Cotte, 1915, a cynipid species that induces gall formation on the plant Carthamus lanatus L., known only from a single old record from France, was recently re-discovered in a locality south-east of Madrid (central Spain). In this study, we re-describe the species, including a new description of the male and the terminal larva. We transfer the species to the genus Phanacis, and provide a key for the identification of the related West European Phanacis species. P. kiefferi might potentially be used as an agent for the biological control of the host plant, C. lanatus, the saffron or distaff thistle, a harmful weed native to the Mediterranean Region, with a virtually worldwide current distribution.
