Abstract

New Caledonia is a biodiversity hotspot, but its gall midge fauna remains poorly known. In this study, we describe a gall midge Neocaledonidiplosis neoaryterae Elsayed, gen. et sp. nov. (Cecidomyiinae: Cecidomyiini) inducing leaf galls on Neoarytera chartacea (Sapindaceae) in Noumea, New Caledonia. The new genus is closely related to the catch‐all genus Contarinia, but distinguishable by the shorter ovipositor, longer aedeagus that bears sensoria and presence of the occipital protuberance. Molecular phylogenetic analysis was conducted and supported the close relationship of the new genus with Contarinia. This is the first example of a gall midge belonging to the tribe Cecidomyiini to be reported on Sapindaceae.

新喀里多尼亚特有瘿蚊一新属(双翅目:瘿蚊科)，记述了新翅目(松科)瘿蚊形成叶瘿的一新种

新喀里多尼亚是生物多样性的热点，但其瘿蚊动物群仍然鲜为人知。在新喀里多尼亚的努美阿，我们报道了一种瘿蚊neocaledididplosis neoaryterae Elsayed, genet sp. 11 . (cecidomiae: cecidomiini)在Neoarytera chartacea (Sapindaceae)上诱导叶子瘿。新属与全捕属密切相关，但可区分为较短的产卵器，较长的喙，具有感觉器官和枕骨隆起的存在。分子系统发育分析支持了该属与包头虫的亲缘关系。这是在皂荚科报道的第一例瘿蚊属瘿蚊。

期刊介绍： Austral Entomology is a scientific journal of entomology for the Southern Hemisphere. It publishes Original Articles that are peer-reviewed research papers from the study of the behaviour, biology, biosystematics, conservation biology, ecology, evolution, forensic and medical entomology, molecular biology, public health, urban entomology, physiology and the use and control of insects, arachnids and myriapods. The journal also publishes Reviews on research and theory or commentaries on current areas of research, innovation or rapid development likely to be of broad interest – these may be submitted or invited. Book Reviews will also be considered provided the works are of global significance. Manuscripts from authors in the Northern Hemisphere are encouraged provided that the research has relevance to or broad readership within the Southern Hemisphere. All submissions are peer-reviewed by at least two referees expert in the field of the submitted paper. Special issues are encouraged; please contact the Chief Editor for further information.
