Abstract

A new species of Bruggmanniella (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae, Asphondyliini) associated with Doliocarpus dentatus (Dilleniaceae) in Brazil ABStRACt. A new species of Bruggmanniella (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae, Asphondyliini) associated with Doliocarpus dentatus (Dilleniaceae) in Brazil. Bruggmanniella doliocarpi, a new galling species associated with Doliocarpus dentatus (Dilleniaceae) is described and illustrated (male, female, pupa, larva and gall) based on material from Minas Gerais, Brazil. the new species is compared to the other known Neotropical species. This is the first report of Bruggmanniella for Minas Gerais and in association with Dilleniaceae.KEyWORDS. Brazilian savanna; gall midge; Neotropical; taxonomy.RESUMO. Uma nova espécie de Bruggmanniella (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae, Asphondyliini) associada a Doliocarpus dentatus (Dilleniaceae) no Brasil. Bruggmanniella doliocarpi, uma nova espécie galhadora associada com Doliocarpus dentatus (Dilleniaceae) é descrita e ilustrada (macho, fêmea, pupa, larva e galha) com base em material coletado em Minas Gerais, Brasil. A nova espécie é comparada com as outras espécies neotropicais conhecidas. Esse é o primeiro registro de Bruggmanniella para Minas Gerais e em Dilleniaceae.PALAVRAS-CHAVE.

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

“…Bruggmanniella doliocarpi (Fig. 5) was previously known from Brazil: Minas Gerais: Dores do Indaiá (Cerrado) (Maia et al 2010). Now, its area was extended 5.985 km to the North.…”

“…Data on host plants and gall morphology were verified in the original descriptions of the gall-inducing species (Möhn 1959;Maia 2004;Maia et al 1993Maia et al , 2010. Then, a literature review was done using Google Scholar in order to compile the geographic records of Asphondylia cordiae, A. serrata, Bruggmanniella byrsonimae, and B. doliocarpi based on host plants plus gall morphology as well as on the gall-inducing species.…”

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…”
