... Worldwide, 49 species of Mycodiplosis have been recorded in different environments (Gagné 1994(Gagné , 2004Nelsen 2013). Of these, 27 species are mycophagous in the larval stage, of which 21 feed on one or several species of rusts (Fedotova 2002(Fedotova , 2003Fedotova and Sidorenko 2004;Gagné 2004). For example, Mycodiplosis coniophaga (Winnertz, 1853), Mycodiplosis melampsorae (Rübsaamen 1889), and Mycodiplosis pucciniae (Rübsaamen 1889), feed on several rust species (Sicoli et al. 2017). ...

Consumption of Phakopsora pachyrhizi Sydow & P. Sydow uredospores by Mycodiplosis (Rübsaamen, 1885) larvae in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) crops was reported for the first time, in a ‘Huasteca-700’ soybean crop sown on 30 December 2020 at Sitio Experimental Ébano (SEE) at Ébano, San Luis Potosí, Mexico. Soybean leaflets with irregular yellowish-brown, reddish-brown, or dark brown lesions were collected 71, 78, 85, and 92 days after the soybean crop (DAS) was sown. On the sampling dates, larvae of the genus Mycodiplosis were observed feeding on uredospores of Asian soybean rust. The greatest number of larvae was recorded 78 DDS. At 71 and 78 DDS, larvae were observed in leaflets with an average severity of 1.44 and 2.8%. At 85 and 92 DDS, larvae were observed in leaflets with an average severity of 26.81 and 38.5%. The record of consumption of P. pachyrhizi Sydow & P. Sydow uredospores by larvae of genus Mycodiplosis is the first report for Mexico. En el presente trabajo se reporta por primera vez el consumo de las uredosporas de Phakopsora pachyrhizi Sydow & P. Sydow por las larvas del género Mycodiplosis (Rübsaamen, 1885) en el cultivo de soya (Glicine max L. Merrill). El trabo de investigación se desarrolló en la variedad de soya Huasteca-700, con fecha de siembra del 30 de diciembre del 2020, en el Sitio Experimental Ébano (SEE), ubicado en Ébano, San Luis Potosí, México. En este cultivo, las larvas del género Mycodiplosis fueron registradas en los folíolos con lesiones irregulares color caféamarillento, café-rojizo o café oscuro a los 71, 78, 85, y 92 días después de la siembra (DDS). En las fechas de muestreo, las larvas del género Mycodiplosis se observaron alimentando de uredosporas de la roya asiática. El número mayor de larvas se registró a los 78 DDS (n = 180) respecto a los 71, 85, y 92 DDS. A los 71 y 78 DDS, las larvas se observaron en los folíolos con una severidad promedio de 1.44 y 2.8%. Mientras que, a las 85 y 92 DDS, larvas se observaron en los folíolos con una severidad promedio de 26.81 y 38.5%. El registro del consumo de uredosporas de roya asiática de la soya por las larvas del género Mycodiplosis es el primer reporte para México. Con base en este resultado, las larvas del género Mycodiplosis podrían ser parte de los agentes control biológico de roya asiática en el cultivo de soya.
... Two of us, AI and YN, recently discovered subglobular galls on cultivated Vitis vinifera in Hokkaido, Japan ( Fig. 1) and reared adults of the gall midge. Based on morphological examinations, this species is considered to be an undescribed species of the genus Vitisiella Fedotova and Kovalev, 2003. Vitisiella is a small Holarctic genus comprising three described species of leaf gallers on Vitis, namely: Vitisiella brevicauda (Felt, 1908) associated with Vitis sp. in the United States; V. oenephila (Haimhoffen, 1875) associated with V. vinifera in Europe, the Middle East, and Russian Far East; and V. vesicula Fedotova and Kovalev, 2003 associated with Vitis amurensis Rupr. in the Russian Far East (Fedotova and Kovalev 2003, Gagné 2009, Gagné and Jaschhof 2021. ...

... Ametrodiplosis differs from other clinodiplosine genera by a greatly inflated costal base of male wing (Figs 5,7 & 9) in addition to the following combination of characters: flagellomeres I and II fused in both sexes; basal male flagellomeres usually binodal; each node with 1 set of short-looped circumfila, except some eastern Palearctic and Oriental species that bear 1 or 2 simple whorls of circumfila in addition to or instead of short-looped circumfila (Grover 1970;Fedotova 2002Fedotova , 2003Fedotova & Sidorenko 2004); distal male flagellomeres gradually foreshortened and becoming evenly cylindrical, except the Oriental A. pareirae Grover, in which all flagellomeres are foreshortened and cylindrical (Grover 1970); and third instar with bilobed spatula and integument ventrally with anteromedian field of raised and pointed cuticular warts on thoracic segments and abdominal segments I-VIII. ...
... Most known species of Ametrodiplosis have been described based solely on adult morphological characters, hence the immature stages of many species are unknown (Fedotova 2002(Fedotova , 2003Fedotova & Sidorenko 2004;Grover 1970). Some adult diagnostic characters were not referred to in many descriptions, such as the general shape of male flagellomeres I-XII and their circumfila, and the abdominal setation in both sexes. ...

Ametrodiplosis Rübsaamen (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae: Clinodiplosini) is a mostly Holarctic gall midge genus whose species are associated with a wide range of seed plant families, either as gall-inducers or inquilines. In this study, we describe three species of Ametrodiplosis from Japan: A. adetos n. sp. feeding in the flowers of Tylophora aristolochioides Miq. (Apocynaceae); A. aeroradicis n. sp. inducing aerial root galls on Trachelospermum asiaticum (Sieb. et Zucc.) Nakai and T. gracilipes var. liukiuense (Apocynaceae); and A. stellariae n. sp. forming leaf bud galls on Stellaria uliginosa Murray var. undulata (Thunb.) Ohwi (Caryophyllaceae). A molecular phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial COI and ribosomal 16S genes and nuclear ribosomal 28S gene were conducted for the three new Ametrodiplisis species and other clinodiplosine taxa sequences available in GenBank. The analysis supported the monophyly of Ametrodiplosis despite the variable life history of the three species. In addition, it indicated very low intraspecific genetic divergence among the individuals from different localities and/or host plants. A taxonomic key to the three new Japanese species of Ametrodiplosis is provided.

Larvae of a previously unknown species of gall midge were found causing large numbers of pustulate leaf galls on Peking lilac, Syringa reticulata subsp. pekinensis (Oleaceae), in parklands and street greenery in Beijing, China. Heavily galled leaves become senescent and fall off prematurely. The gall midge is named Pekinomyia syringae Jiao & Kolesik, its morphology is described and the COI mitochondrial gene and 12S ribosomal gene segments are sequenced. A new genus, Pekinomyia Jiao & Kolesik (Cecidomyiinae: Lasiopteridi), is erected for the new species. The new genus differs from other Lasiopteridi in the strongly sclerotized aedeagus and the lack of mesobasal lobes in the male terminalia and is not assigned to any known tribe.

Abstract—Two new genera and species of gall midges are described from Lower-Middle Miocene amber,based on males, which have binodose f lagellomeres possessing long looplike sensorial filae: Mexicanodiplosiskatyae gen. et sp. nov. (Coquillettomyiidi, Karshomyiini) from Mexican amber, and Ipsseptemmyia rossi gen.et sp. nov. (Aphidoletidi, Bremiini) from Dominican amber. Coquillettomyiidi were previously unknownfrom fossil resins. An undescribed species of the genus Bremia was previously found in Mexican amber. Thisis the first gall midge to be described from Dominican amber. Altogether, including the new taxa, 11 speciesand eight genera of Cecidomyiinae with binodose f lagellomeres were found in Mexican amber (five genera,five species), Dominican amber and Rovno amber (one genus, one species each), and Baltic amber (onegenus, three species).Keywords: Cecidomyiinae, Higher gall midges, (2) (PDF) First Findings of Gall Midges (Diptera, Cecidomyioidea, Cecidomyiidae) of the Tribes Karshomyiini (Mexican Amber) and Bremiini (Dominican Amber).

... remarks. Schizomyia uechiae is close to S. calathidiphaga, S. clematidis, S. spiraeae, S. veronicastrum and S. paederiae because all these species share deeply constricted male flagellomeres (Kovalev 1964;Fedotova 2002;Elsayed et al. 2018a). Schizomyia uechiae can be separated from S. calathidiphaga and S. paederiae by the following features: the ovipositor is shorter (protrusible needlelike portion about 3.3 times as long as sternite VII, but about 4. 5 and 4.8 in S. calathidiphaga and S. paederiae, respectively); the larva of S. uechiae has inner group of lateral papillae of two setose papillae, while two setose and one asetose papillae in S. calathidiphaga and S. paederiae; the larva of S. uechiae has two corniform and six setose terminal papillae, while the other two species have two corniform, two asetose and four setose terminal papillae. ...

Two new species of Schizomyia Kieffer (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae: Asphondyliini: Schizomyiina) are reported from Japan. Schizomyia broussonetiae Elsayed & Tokuda n. sp. forms hairy globular leaf galls on the paper mulberry Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) Vent. (Moraceae) and S. uechiae Elsayed and Tokuda n. sp. induces red flower bud galls on the porcelain berry Ampelopsis glandulosa var. brevipedunculata (Maxim.) Momiy. (Vitaceae). Morphological features of larvae, pupae and adults of the new species are described, illustrated and compared in detail to several other Schizomyia species. An updated taxonomic key to known Japanese species of Schizomyia is provided.
... Remarks. Schizomyia paederiae is distinguishable from other Schizomyia species, except four Russian species, i.e. S. calathidiphaga, S. clematidis, S. spiraeae, and S. veronicastrum, by its deeply constricted male flagellomeres (Kovalev 1964;Fedotova 2002). Firstly, the adults of S. paederiae differs from S. calathidiphaga by a slightly longer ovipositor (protrusible needle-like portion about 4.8 times as long as sternite VII, while 4.5 times in S. calathidiphaga), longer empodia (empodia are as long as claws in S. paederiae, but shorter in S. calathidiphaga), the position of gonostylus tooth (mostly covering only the apical margin in S. paederiae, but on the posteroapical margin in S. calathidiphaga), and the arrangement of papillae on the larval terminal segment (the two asetose terminal papillae are situated more posteriorly in S. paederiae, while more anteriorly in S. clathidiphaga). ...

The genus Asteralobia (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae, Asphondyliini, Schizomyiina) was erected by Kovalev (1964) based on the presence of constrictions on the cylindrical male flagellomeres. In the present study, we examine the morphological features of Asteralobia and Schizomyia and found that the male flagellomeres are constricted also in Schizomyiagaliorum , the type species of Schizomyia . Because no further characters clearly separating Asteralobia from Schizomyia were observed, we synonymize Asteralobia under Schizomyia . Molecular phylogenetic analysis strongly supports our taxonomic treatment. We describe five new species of Schizomyia from Japan, S.achyranthesae Elsayed & Tokuda, sp. n. , S.diplocyclosae Elsayed & Tokuda, sp. n. , S.castanopsisae Elsayed & Tokuda, sp. n. , S.usubai Elsayed & Tokuda, sp. n. , and S.paederiae Elsayed & Tokuda, sp. n. , and redescribe three species, S.galiorum Kieffer, S.patriniae Shinji, and S.asteris Kovalev. A taxonomic key to the Japanese Schizomyia species is provided.
