“…The phylogenetic hypothesis presented next is mainly derived from Garcia et al [1]. To update the analysis, we included the recently described species of Bruggmanniella: B. miconiae Two Australian species, B. bursaria (Felt) and B. orientalis (Felt) were tentatively transferred to Bruggmanniella in Kolesik and Gagné [10] based on the two separate teeth of the gonostylus. These species have unknown immature stages and one of them is only known from the male.…”

An update of the delimitation of the genus Bruggmanniella based on phylogenetic analysis using morphological data is presented. We included the seven new species of Bruggmanniella described between 2019 and 2020, and discuss some aspects of the evolutionary changes among the closely related genera Bruggmanniella , Pseudasphondylia , and Illiciomyia . Bruggmanniella is confirmed here as a monophyletic Neotropical lineage, divergent from the Asian species. The phylogenetic reconstruction hypothesized here reinforces the pertinence of the genus Odontokeros to house all species occurring in the Oriental/Palearctic region under Bruggmanniella . The delimitation of Bruggmanniella , the geographical distribution, and niche occupation are discussed.

Can the galling Eriophyidae (Trombidiformes) manipulate leaf structural and histochemical profiles over environmental stressors?

Context Galls are products of an intrinsic relationship between specific parasites and their host plants. Gall formation involves alterations in the developmental pattern of the host organs in which environmental conditions may also impose constraints. Aims We hypothesised that the adaptive features of the host plants reflect the stressors of the xeric and mesic environments and influence the establishment and success of the associated galls. Methods We analysed anatomical, histometric, and histochemical alterations induced by two species of Eriophyidae, on Miconia ibaguensis adapted to the Brazilian Cerrado (xeric environment) and on Miconia notabilis adapted to the forests of the equatorial region (mesic environment). Key results The adaptive leaf characteristics of M. ibaguensis and M. notabilis to both xeric and mesic environments, such as the trichomes, cuticle and mesophyll thickness, number of mesophyll layers, the proportion of intercellular spaces, differences in the intensity detection of phenolic and starch are kept in the galls. The higher density of emergences in M. notabilis may increase the protection against the natural enemies of the eriophyids, which are commonly more abundant in mesic than in xeric environments. Conclusions These traits are important not only for the survival of the two host plants but also for the success of the two species of galling Eriophyidae in distinct environments. Implications These findings indicate the success of the gall inducers of the same taxa in distinct environments, which can be explored in different systems.

Most Neotropical species of Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) have been described from Brazil, but a list of species with occurrence in the country has never been published. Little is known about their distribution and richness in the Brazilian phytogeographic domains. Additionally, a list of host plant species has never been gathered. The present study aims to fill these knowledge gaps and provides an overview of this family in Brazil. For this, data were obtained mainly from the literature, but also from the Cecidomyiidae collection of Museu Nacional and two herbaria (RB and R). Based on the site "Flora do Brasil 2020", botanical names were updated and plant species origin and distribution were verified. A total of 265 gall midge species have been recorded in Brazil, most from the Atlantic Forest (183), followed by Cerrado (60), and Amazon Forest (29). The other phytogeographic domains shelter from five to ten species. Phytophagous gall midges occur on 128 plant species of 52 families, almost all native, being 43 endemic to Brazil (21 endemic to Atlantic Forest, five to Cerrado, and one to Amazon). Although, the taxonomical knowledge is focused on the Atlantic Forest, each domain has its own fauna composition and these informations can be useful for environmental conservational purposes. About 58% of the Brazilian fauna are known only from the type-locality. In order to fill these gaps, it is necessary and important to collect in uninvestigated areas.
