Eugeniamyia dispar gen.n. and sp.n. (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae, Lasiopteridi) associated with Eugenia uniflora l. (Myrtaceae) in Brazil

Abstract

ABSTRACT. A new genus and species Eugeniamyia dispar (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae, Lasiopteridi) that cause leaf galls on Eugenia uniflora L. (Myrtaceae) in Brazil, is described.

Are gall midge species (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) host-plant specialists?

Gall-inducing insects of an Araucaria Forest in southern Brazil

“…Lately, there were studies on the diversity of subtropical forests of the region (Dalbem & Mendonça 2006;Mendonça 2007;Mendonça et al 2010) with a single new gall-midge genus and two species described from there (Maia et al 1996;Maia et al 2009). Despite the Araucaria forest being a relatively well-studied and very characteristic landscape (Ribeiro et al 2009), its galling insect fauna remains unknown.…”

Eugeniamyia dispar em pitangueira: parasitoides associados, dinâmica populacional e distribuição de galhas na planta

“…2A). Segundo Maia et al (1996), o número de galhas de E. dispar por folha pode variar de uma até 30, sendo, portanto, próxima da relatada neste trabalho. Mendonça e Romanoski (2002a) mencionam que podem ser encontradas até 33 galhas por folha e até 71 galhas por brotação.…”
