(typelocality-BRAZIL: Rio de Janeiro, Maricá) associated with Mellissa off1ci nalis is described from larvae, pupae, male and female. KEY WORDS. Dipte ra , Cecidomyiidae, Clinodiplosis, new species, Me lissa off1cinalis Clinodiplosis Kieffer, 1895 é um gênero cosmopolita, que inclui formas micófagas, fitófagas e galhadoras (GAGNÉ, 1989). As espécies deste gênero ocorrem em diversas famílias de plantas, sendo este o seu primeiro registro em Labiatae, na região Neotropical.

Phylogeny of the genus Stephomyia Tavares, 1916 (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)

“…The former is divided into 11 tribes and the latter into 8. Among Cecidomyiidi, we included species from three tribes: Cecidomyiini (Parkiamyia paraensis Maia, 2006 (in Maia andFernandes, 2006) and Contarinia gemmae Maia, 2002(in Madeira et al, 2002; Clinodiplosini (Clinodiplosis melissae Maia, 1993b and Iatrophobia braziliensis Rübsaamen, 1916); and Asphondyliini (Asphondyliina: Asphondylia fructicola Maia, 2009(in Maia et al, 2009a; Bruggmanniella doliocarpi Maia, 2010(in Maia et al, 2010, and Parazalepidota clusiae…”

Representatividade do gênero Clinodiplosis Kieffer (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) no Brasil

“…Os biomas foram definidos a partir das localidades de coleta. As informações obtidas a partir da literatura basearam-se em 12 publicações encontradas nas buscas, são elas: Gagné (1994Gagné ( , 2010, Gagné et al (2004), Maia (1993Maia ( , 2001Maia ( , 2005, Maia & Fernandes (2004, 2011, Maia et al (2008), Novo-Guedes & Maia (2008, Oliveira & Maia (2008), Urso-Guimarães & Scarelli-Santos (2006).…”

Life history of the gall-maker Eugeniamyia dispar Maia, Mendonça-Jr. & Romanowski, 1996 (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae)

“…Although much is known about the ecology of some of the species of Cecidomyiidae, mainly from Europe and United States, the number of species (and even of genera) described in this family is still growing remarkably around the world, for example in Western Europe (e.g. Fedotova, 1994Fedotova, , 1993aFedotova, , 1993b, Brazil (Maia, 1995a(Maia, , 1995b(Maia, , 1993a(Maia, , 1993bMaia & Couri, 1993;Maia et al, 1996) and USA (Gagné & Bennett, 1993;Gagné & Strong, 1993). These works are essentially of taxonomic nature, and much more is needed to understand the ecology and evolution of this group as a whole.…”
