“…The gall midges and host plant species database was compiled from taxonomic reviews of the gall midges of the Neotropical Region (e.g., Maia 2005a, and references therein) and from subsequent published papers (Maia 2005b(Maia , 2007Maia & Fernandes 2005ab, 2006Oliveira & Maia 2005). The undescribed species used in the data base were separated on the basis of gall midge morphology by V.C.…”

“…Studies done in the southeastern region of Brazil have shown the richness of entomogenic galls in restingas (Bregonci et al, 2010;MAIA et al, 2008;MAIA et al, 2014;RODRIGUES et al, 2014) and have described a large diversity of galling insects (MAIA, 1995(MAIA, , 2001(MAIA, , 2007. In general, there are few studies with a focus on richness of gall-inducing insect in the coastal region of southern Brazil, except the articles of Mendonça Jr. et al (2010), performed in restingas of Rio Grande do Sul, and Arriola et al (2016), in restinga formations occurring on dunes in the northeastern portion of the state of Santa Catarina.…”

Richness of insect galls on shrub-tree restinga of a coastal plain of southern Brazil

The restingas are coastal ecosystems over the sandy Quaternary plains. Their vegetation present flora and structure conditioned mainly by edaphic factors. They vary from grasslands, shrub lands up to woody forests. Their environmental conditions, such as water stress and high solar irradiance, may be associated to a high richness of galling. This study aims to identify the insect-plant interactions of the gall type, in a shrub-tree restinga formation at the Acaraí State Park, situated in São Francisco do Sul, Santa Catarina State. The survey was conducted in four plots of 250 x 5 m (5,000 m²) of the PELD/PPBio module, with a sample effort of 32 hours. There were found 56 morphospecies of galls in 31 species of host plants. Lauraceae, Myrtaceae, Melastomataceae, Nyctaginaceae and Calophyllaceae showed the highest number of interactions. Guapira opposita (Nyctaginaceae) and Calophyllum brasiliense (Calophyllaceae) were the major super-hosts. There was a predominance of isolated globoid galls on leaves, induced by Diptera -Cecidomyiidae. Galls on stems were less abundant. The focus of this inventory was restricted to the aerial parts of the plants, which limited the galls records on roots, for which there were records only in adventitious roots of the epiphyte Philodendron surinamense. The richness of galls seems to be proportional to the richness of plant species in this restinga formation. Keywords: Cecidomyiidae; coastal vegetation; plant-insect interaction; super-hosts. RESUMOAs restingas são ecossistemas costeiros que ocupam as planícies quaternárias arenosas. Sua vegetação apresenta flora e estrutura condicionada por fatores edáficos em maior grau. Variam de formações herbáceas, arbustivas, arbustivo-arbóreas a florestas. Suas características ambientais estressantes, como a baixa disponibilidade hídrica e a alta radiação solar, propiciam uma elevada riqueza de insetos galhadores. O objetivo deste estudo foi reconhecer as interações inseto-planta, do tipo galha, na formação arbustivo-arbórea da restinga do Parque Estadual Acaraí, situado em São Francisco do Sul, Santa Catarina. O levantamento foi realizado em quatro parcelas de 250 x 5 m (5.000 m²) do módulo PELD/ PPBio, com esforço amostral de 32 horas. Encontraram-se 56 morfoespécies de galhas em 31 espécies de plantas hospedeiras. As famílias com maior número de interações foram Lauraceae, Myrtaceae, Melastomataceae, Nyctaginaceae e Calophyllaceae. As espécies Guapira opposita (Nyctaginaceae) e Calophyllum brasiliense (Calophyllaceae) foram as principais super-hospedeiras. Houve predominância de galhas globoides isoladas em folhas, induzidas por Diptera -Cecidomyiidae. Galhas em caules foram menos abundantes. O foco do inventário restringiu-se às partes aéreas das plantas, o que limitou o registro de galhas em raízes, sendo registradas apenas em raízes adventícias da epífita Philodendron surinamense. A riqueza de galhas parece ser proporcional à riqueza de espécies vegetais nessa formação de restinga. Palavras-chave: Cecidomyiidae; interação inseto-...

The adult head of the Hessian fly Mayetiola destructor was examined and described in detail. Morphological features are evaluated with respect to phylogenetic implications and possible effects of miniaturisation. Preserved groundplan features of Diptera are the orthognathous orientation of the head, the vestiture of small microtrichia (possible autapomorphy), filiform antennae inserted frontally between the compound eyes, the presence of a clypeolabral muscle (possible autapomorphy), the presence of labellae (autapomorphy), and the presence of only one premental retractor. Potential synapomorphies of the groups assigned to Bibionomorpha are the origin of M. tentorioscapalis medialis on the frons and the loss of M. craniolacinialis. Further apomorphies of Cecidomyiidae identified in Mayetiola are the unusually massive anterior tentorial arm, the absence of the labro-epipharyngeal food channel, the absence of the lacinia, and the presence of antennal sensilla connected by a seta, a feature not known from any other group of Diptera. The very large size of the compound eyes (in relation to the entire head surface) and the complete loss of ocelli are possible effects of miniaturization. The large size of the brain (in relation to the cephalic lumen), the unusual shape of the optic lobes, and the absence of the frontal ganglion as a separate structure are probably also linked with size reduction.
