Abstract: Calophyllum brasiliense, a Neotropical species, hosts seven galling Cecidomyiidae reported only for Brazil. Our hypothesis is the distribution of the galling insects associated with C. brasiliense is similar to that of the host plant. We checked gall occurrence by field sampling and by searching data in literature and herbaria. Current results indicate that the occurrence of galling Cecidomyiidae associated with C. brasiliense extends to 13 Brazilian states, as well as to 11 countries of Neotropical America.

“…In this situation, the flora and, consequently, the gall richness can be more diverse. Soil properties exercise a direct effect on the occurrence of super-hosts species (Araújo et al, 2013, Arriola, Melo Júnior, Isaias, Mouga, & Costa, 2016 and an indirect effect on gall abundance (Blanche & Westoby, 1995). However, the nutrient pool can be modified by litter thickness and soil moisture; although, the effect of these soil traits was not estimated.…”

“…Owing to the specialized relationship between galling insects and their host plants, Arriola et al (2016) hypothesized that the distribution of the host plant Calophyllum brasiliense Cambess. (Calophyllaceae) matches the distribution of its galling insects.…”

“…Galling species are specialized herbivores able to induce redifferentiation of specialized plant tissues (Arriola, Melo Júnior, Mouga, Isaias, & Costa, 2016;Fernandes, Tameirão Neto, & Martins, 1988;Oliveira & Isaias, 2010;Shorthouse, Wool, & Raman, 2005). An estimation of the overall number of galling species ranges from 21,000 to 211,000 with the highest diversity in warm regions and associated with sclerophyllous vegetation (Lara & Fernandes, 1996).…”

“…The geographic distribution of several Brazilian species is poorly known, being most species known only from the type localities (Gagné and Jaschhof 2014). Arriola et al (2016) showed that data on geographic records of gall-inducing species can be retrieved from herbaria by examination of galled exsiccates. Thus, new locality records can be obtained from these sources of information.…”
