“…Our results are in agreement with previous studies in the Brazilian savannas that point the dominance of gall-midges as gallers (Maia & Fernandes, 2004;Santos et al, 2010;Araújo et al, 2011Araújo et al, , 2014bNogueira et al, 2016;Urso-Guimarães et al, 2016). Cecidomyiidae is considered the main galling insect group in the world with more of 6,000 known species (Gagné & Jaschhof, 2014), and a huge estimated number of species not yet known (Araújo et al, 2014a;GrandezRios et al, 2015).…”

“…There is the expectation that et al (1988) the higher the species number in the plant family higher is the galling diversity that they host (Araújo, 2011;Gonçalves-Alvim & Fernandes, 2001). Additionally, we found that the host plants of the genera Protium (Burseraceae), Siparuna (Siparunaceae), Serjania (Sapindaceae) and Bauhinia (Fabaceae) were the most diverse in insect gall morphotypes, in line with recent studies in the Brazilian Cerrado (Silva et al, 2015;Nogueira et al, 2016;Urso-Guimarães et al, 2016). Insect gall morphotypes vary greatly in the occurrence and morphology, which can be explained by high specificity of gall-inducing insects associated to their host plants (Carneiro et al, 2009a).…”

“…In Brazilian inventories, the average ranges from 1.0 to 2.1 . Similar values were found for all other areas already studied in the Semideciduous Seasonal Forest Maia & Souza, 2013;Carvalho et al, 2015;Santos & Ribeiro, 2015;Urso-Guimarães et al, 2016). This fact is interesting, because suggest a limitation in the number of galling species supported by host plant species (Maia & Oliveira, 2010).…”

“…Urso-Guimarães et al (2016) with 65 morphotypes recorded the greatest richness of galls for this physiognomy. However, it is worth mentioning that the sample effort in the different works cited was not performed in the same way thus hindering the direct comparison of the results (Table 4).…”

Abstract. Insect galls of the Floresta da Cicuta (Volta Redonda, RJ, Brazil). Galls are changes in the pattern of growth and development of plant tissues or organs in response to the action of an inducing organism, usually an insect. The goal of the present study was to inventory the insect galls of the Floresta da Cicuta (Volta Redonda, RJ, Brazil). The collections were carried out along all the trails, totaling 16 hours of sampling. Forty-three morphotypes of insect galls were found in 24 plant species (18 genera and 15 families). Sapindaceae and Euphorbiaceae were the most richness host plant families. Six new records of host plant species are presented: Senefeldera verticillata (Vell.) Croizat. (Euphorbiaceae), Inga acuminata (Fabaceae), Ocotea elegans (Lauraceae), Ouratea stipulata (Ochnaceae), Psychotria nuda (Rubiaceae) and Cestrum intermedium (Solanaceae). Most of the galls occurred on leaves (n = 21) and stems (n = 18), followed by buds (n = 2), two gall morphotypes occurred simultaneously on leaves and stems. One-chambered galls were more frequent (n = 31), as well as glabrous galls (n = 33). The gallers belong to three insect orders: Diptera (Cecidomyiidae), Hemiptera, and Lepidoptera. The associated fauna comprised parasitoids (Hymenoptera), inquilines (Hemiptera and Coleoptera) and successors (Isoptera and Acari).

“…Prior to this study, only four surveys have been performed in areas with Seasonal Semideciduous Forest (SSF):, Maringá/PR (Carvalho et al, 2015), Goiânia/GO (Santos et al, 2010), Serra da Bodoquena/MS (Urso-Guimarães et al, 2017), and Sorocaba/SP (Ansaloni et al, 2018), which were compared to Altinópolis (this study). Table 3 shows the compared richness of gall morphotypes in these areas, as well as from nearby areas of Cerrado vegetation from Northeastern São Paulo State.…”

Herein, we studied the occurrence of insect galls from natural vegetation around the Itambé Cave, Altinópolis, SP, Brazil. A sampling effort of 7.5 hours resulted in 41 gall morphotypes on 21 host plant species from 14 families. The richest families of host plants in morphotypes were Fabaceae (N = 11), Euphorbiaceae (N = 7), and Malpighiaceae (N = 5). Copaifera langsdorffii Desf. (N = 8), Croton floribundus Spreng. (N = 7), Diplopterys pubipetala (A. Juss.) W.R. Anderson & C.C. Davis (N = 5), and Bauhinia holophylla (Bong.) Steud. (N = 4) were the super host plant species. Among the gall makers obtained, cecidomyiids were reared in 81% of cases and Hemiptera (Diaspididae), Hymenoptera (Eurytomidae), Coleoptera (Apion sp./Apionidae), and Lepidoptera in 4.5% of cases, each. The parasitoids belong to the Chalcidoidea superfamily (Hymenoptera). One new species of Camptoneuromyiia (Cecidomyiidae) was found in Smilax oblongifolia Pohl ex Griseb. (Smilacaceae) as inquiline and a new species of Lestodiplosis in Diplopterys pubipetala (Malpighiaceae) was a predator. We also present the first register of Bauhinia holophylla as host plants of Cecidomyiidae, and we expand the occurrence of Rochadiplosis tibouchinae Tavares and Couridiplosis vena to São Paulo State. The results of this paper are a continuation of the description of gall morphotypes from the vegetation in Northeastern São Paulo State, and they also increase knowledge about the diversity of host plant and gall-maker associations in the Neotropical region.
