New geographic records of four species of Asphondyliini (Insecta, Diptera, Cecidomyiidae)

“…Bruggmanniella byrsonimae (Fig. 4) was previously known from Brazil: Rio de Janeiro: São Francisco de Itabapoana (Atlantic Forest, Tabuleiro Forest), São João da Barra (Atlantic Forest, Restinga), Carapebus (Atlantic Forest, Restinga), Arraial do Cabo (Atlantic Forest, Restinga), Araruama (Atlantic Forest, Restinga), Saquarema (Atlantic Forest, Restinga), Maricá (Atlantic Forest, Restinga), Rio de Janeiro (Atlantic Forest, Restinga), and Mangaratiba (Atlantic Forest, Restinga) (Maia et al 1993;Monteiro et al 1994;Maia 1999Maia , 2001Monteiro et al 2004;Rodrigues et al 2014;Maia and Carvalho 2016;Carvalho-Fernandes et al 2016;Maia and Silva 2016). Thus, the distributional limits are extended 440 km to the north.…”

A new species of Bruggmanniella (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae, Asphondyliini) associated with Doliocarpus dentatus (Dilleniaceae) in Brazil

“…Bruggmanniella tavares, 1909 is known from ten galling species, seven Neotropical: B. braziliensis tavares, 1909, B. byrsonimae (Maia & Couri, 1992in Maia et al 1992, B. duguetiae Urso-Guimarães & Amorim, 2004, B. ingae UrsoGuimarães & Amorim, 2004, B. maytenuse (Maia & Couri, 1992in Maia et al 1992, B. oblita tavares, 1920, B. perseae Gagné, 2004; one southern Nearctic: B. bumeliae Felt, 1907; one Palaearctic: Bruggmanniella actinodaphnes tokuda & yukawa, 2006;andone Oriental: Bruggmanniella cinnamomi tokuda &yukawa, 2006 (Felt 1907;Gagné et al 2004;Maia et al 1992;Maia 1999Maia , 2001tavares 1909, 1920tokuda & yukawa 2006;Urso-Guimarães & Amorim 2004). this genus is characterized by having three-segmented palpi; simple tarsal claws; male gonostyli with the tooth completely divided mesally, resulting in two separate teeth; female segment 8 with cerci-like lobes; well-developed pupal antennal horns; no frontal horns; tiny and numerous dorsal abdominal spines (from the anterior margin of the tergum to the row of dorsal papillae) and larval spatula four-toothed (Gagné 1994).…”
