Abstract: The commonest insect gall on Baccharis dracunculifolia (Asteraceae) leaves is induced by Baccharopelma dracunculifoliae (Hemiptera, Psyllidae). The gall-inducing insect attacks young leaves in both the unfolded and the fully expanded stages. Four developmental phases were observed in this type of gall: 1) A folding phase, during which the leaf lamina folded upward alongside the midrib and the edges of the upper portion of the leaf approached each other, forming a longitudinal slit. A single chamber was formed … Show more

“…the psyllid present three nymphal instars, from eclosion of the egg to the mature insect, displaying mechanisms that protect them from loss of humidity (Gullan & martin 2003, Raman 2003. Free feeding psyllids are more active during periods of higher humidity while others produce wax as a strategy to avoid water loss (Arduin et al 2005). Pseudophacopteron (Psyllid) galls on Aspidosperma australe muell.…”

“…This gall is very similar to those induced by Baccharopelma dracunculifoliae in B. drancunculifolia. 25 Schinus polygamus presents foliar galls induced by an unidentified psyllid species probably belonging to the genera Calophya. 26 These small conical galls were found dispersed on the leaf blade, which maintains portions of healthy tissue (Figure1).…”

“…Furthermore, the chemical compounds of B. dracunculifolia are the main components of Brazilian green propolis, which is known for its diverse medicinal properties [ 4,5 ]. B. dracunculifolia is also associated with many herbivores, pollinators, and endophytic fungi, and thus is an important species for ecological community structure and functioning [7][8][9]. But in spite of these studies, nothing is known about the bacteria that are associated with B. dracunculifolia.…”
