Cynipoidea is a well-known and widely distributed superfamily of Hymenoptera. Members of Figitidae are parasitoids, and members of Cynipidae are phytophagous. Specimens belonging to this superfamily, collected from the Samsun province of Türkiye, have been studied. Two new Cynipoidea records are established from this country: Alloxysta castanea (Hartig, 1841) and Xestophanes potentillae (Retzius, 1783). New locality information is also given for the species Alloxysta victrix (Westwood, 1833), Synergus pallipes Hartig, 1840, Synergus physocerus Hartig, 1843, and Diplolepis spinosissimae (Giraud, 1859).
