Departamento de Ecologia, Instituto de Biociências, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Av. Bento Gonçalves 9500, Bloco IV, Prédio 43422, 91501-970, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. ABSTRACT. Our understanding of the population ecology of insect gallers is largely built on examples from temperate zones, but tropical and subtropical gallers may present distinct patterns of abundance and distribution across time. Eugeniamyia dispar Maia, Mendonça & Romanowski, 1996 is a multivoltine Neotropical cecidomyiid that induces spongy leaf galls on Eugenia uniflora(Myrtaceae). Galls were censused in the urban area of Porto Alegre, southern Brazil on six plants at two sites, for two years, at roughly weekly intervals. Overall 9,694 eggs, galling attempts and galls were counted. New galls continuously appear on developing leaves, but galls with live inducers are absent from June to at least early August. Galls on a same shoot develop synchronically, thus the shoot is probably the unit for oviposition. Given the also synchronic appearance of galls on different plants on a site, it seems midges can disperse and attack close-by plants. Gall cohorts varied in abundance by two orders of magnitude; there were more galls during summer than for spring and autumn, in a wave-like pattern.

  • Gall Midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) of South Tyrol (Italy) - Summary of Results and Zoogeographical Analysis
    Gredleriana Vol. 10 / 2010 pp. 275 - 324 Gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) of South Tyrol (Italy) - summary of results and zoogeographical analysis Gallmücken (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) Südtirols – zusammenfassende Resultate und zoogeographische Analyse Marcela Skuhravá and Václav Skuhravý Abstract At present the gall midge fauna of South Tyrol includes 311 species in 68 genera. A total of 271 species are valid and 40 species, still undescribed, are identified to the generic level. Investigations were carried out at 124 localities at altitides from 250 m a.s.l. at Salurn to 2581 m a.s.l. at Schaubachhütte in the Ortler Range during the period 1999-2009. Zoogeographical analysis is based on 2150 records, of which 200 were obtained by earlier researchers and 1950 records of the present authors. Until 1996 only 24 species were known to occur in South Tyrol. We enriched the faunal list of South Tyrol by adding 287 species and the faunal list of Italy by 114 species. A list of gall midge species and a list of host plants attacked by gall midges are given. Diversity ranged from 3 to 36 species at a single locality. On average we determined 15 species to occur per locality in South Tyrol. Species number declines with increasing elevation. Density is high at 189 species per 1000 km2. South Tyrol is one of the best explored areas of the world for galls of Cecidomyiidae. Frequency of occurrence: 49 % species occur very rarely, 21 % rarely, 17 % moderately frequently, 9 % frequently, 4 % very frequently. Iteomyia capreae is the most frequently recorded species in South Tyrol.

Many Adaptive radiation; examples of association of a gall midge genus with a particular host plant genus are Japanese known. We found that associations exist between Rabdophaga and Salix, Hartigiola Archipelago and Fagus, Rhopalomyia and Artemisia, and Daphnephila and Machilus, whereas the host range of some large genera, such as Asphondylia, Contarinia, Dasineura, and Lasioptera spans different plant families. Most Rabdophaga and some Rhopalomyia species seem to have colonized the Japanese Archipelago after radiation in the Eurasian Continent. Daphnephila came to Japan from the Oriental Region where they radiated on Machilus. Most Fagus gall midges seem to have diversified on relic Fagus species in the eastern Palearctic Region. Some Hartigiola species appear to have radiated in the Japanese Archipelago. Although Asphondylia has a wide host range at the generic level, most Japanese Asphondylia species and segregates are close to each other genetically, which means they are now spreading to various plant genera.

A total of 4,328 of arthropod-induced galls were collected, with 96.0% of the gall-inducing arthropods being monophagous. Among the seven orders of gall-inducing arthropods in the region, DIPTERA (42.2%) and HEMIPTERA (22.8%) were the two dominant gall-inducing groups. The dominant host-plant families were LAURACEAE (17.6%) and FAGACEAE (16.2%). Enclosed types of galls (65.8%) were more abundant than the open types (32.2%). Most host species (44.7%) harbored two or more, occasionally up to 11, shapes of galls. Galls were mostly found on leaves (55.6%) compared with other parts of plants. Among all gall-inducing taxa, CECIDOMYIIDAE was the most diverse group in terms of abundance, richness, and host use.

The former species induces stem galls on Actinodaphne lancifolia (Siebold et Zucc.)

    Zoological Studies 59:66 (2020) doi:10.6620/ZS.2020.59-66 Open Access Molecular Phylogeny Revealing the Single Origin of Cinnamomum-associated Bruggmanniella (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in Asia, with Descriptions of Three New and One Newly Recorded Species from Taiwan Sheng-Feng Lin1,*, Man-Miao Yang1, and Makoto Tokuda2,* 1Department of Entomology, National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan. *Correspondence: E-mail: [email protected] (Lin) E-mail: [email protected] (Yang) 2Department of Biological Resource Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Saga University, Japan. *Correspondence: E-mail [email protected] (Tokuda) Received 31 July 2020 / Accepted 12 October 2020 / Published 30 November 2020 Communicated by Jen-Pan Huang Cecidomyiid genus Bruggmanniella contains four Lauraceae-associated species in Asia and 13 species associated with various plant families in Latin American. In this article, three new species, B. sanlianensis sp. nov., B. turoguei sp. nov. and B. shianguei sp. nov., and one newly recorded species, B. cinnamomi, are reported on Cinnamomum plant species (Lauraceae) from Taiwan. Molecular phylogenetic analysis was conducted for the four Cinnamomum-associated Bruggmanniella, together with B. brevipes Lin, Yang and Tokuda, B. actinodaphnes Tokuda and Yukawa, three Pseudasphondylia and two Daphnephila species. The Asian Bruggmanniella and the Cinnamomum-associated Bruggmanniella were monophyletic on the Neighbor-joining, Maximum-likelihood, and Bayesian inference trees. In addition, Cinnamomum- associated Bruggmanniella species had the closest sistership with B. brevipes, which are associated with the plant genus Neolitsea (Lauraceae). These results suggest that B. brevipes, B. actinodaphnes and B. cinnamomi are members of genus Bruggmanniella, a finding that is not consistent with another recent morphology-based phylogenetic study.
