Discovery of a new host plant of Pseudasphondylia tominagai Elsayed & Tokuda, 2019 (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae)
No full textBarely visible flower bud galls of Deutzia floribunda Nakai (Hydrangeaceae) were found in Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan. Morphological and molecular analyses indicated that the gall inducer is Pseudasphondylia tominagai Elsayed & Tokuda, 2019 (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae), previously known only to form galls on Eleutherococcus spinosus (L.f.) S.Y.Hu (Araliaceae) in Honshu, Japan. This study marks the first report of a species of Pseudasphondylia Monzen, 1955 on Hydrangeaceae, having host plants from different families and establishing D. floribunda as a new host record for P. tominagai
Macarangamyia Elsayed & Tokuda 2018, gen. nov.
No full textMacarangamyia Elsayed & Tokuda gen. nov. Type species: Macarangamyia itiokai Elsayed &Tokuda sp. nov. Diagnosis: Macarangamyia belongs to the tribe Asphondyliini because of the following synapomorphies: the female sternite VII is distinctly larger than preceding sternites, and the gonostyli are strongly sclerotized, dorsally situated, short and compact (Tokuda 2012). The tribe Asphondyliini is divided into two subtribes: Asphondyliina and Schizomyiina (Gagné & Jaschhof 2017). The new genus, Macarangamyia, belongs to the subtribe Schizomyiina because of the presence of unfused teeth of gonostyli (Tokuda 2012). Macarangamyia can be distinguished from other genera of Schizomyiina, such as the Oriental genera Asphoxenomyia Felt and Luzonomyia Felt, by the following combination of characters: palpi four-segmented; male flagellomeres with short necks; tarsal claws untoothed; ovipositor short, membranous, protrusible, with scattered strong setae ventrally and dorsally; female cerci fused, with some blunt-tipped setae; aedeagus cylindrical, with slit developed dorsally more than ventrally; larva with bidentate spatula; a pair of spiracles present on all thoracic and abdominal segments of larva, except the terminal segment. Description. Adult: Head (Fig. 2): Compound eyes with octagonal facets. Mouthparts: palpi four-segmented; labrum triangular; labella well-developed. Antenna: flagellomeres cylindrical, with short necks; first and second flagellomeres partially fused; female flagellomeres with two connected rings of circumfila, except the terminal flagellomere with network-like circumfila, distal female flagellomeres successively shorter (Fig. 3); male flagellomeres with sinuous circumfila (Fig. 4). Thorax: Wing (Fig. 5): R1 joining C before wing midlength, arculus present, R5 joining C slightly after wing apex, C broken after the conjunction with R5; M3+4 forked with Cu. Tarsomeres I simple (Fig. 6); tarsal claws (Fig. 7) curved, untoothed on all legs; empodia shorter than claws, covered with longer setulae apically than basally; pulvilli short. Female abdomen: Tergites I–VII rectangular, with one posterior row of setae and some lateral setae; tergite VIII bare, notched laterally, posterior margin with a pair of well-developed dorsal lobs; trichoid sensilla absent from all tergites. Sternites II–VI each with several scattered setae anteriorly, one posterior row of setae; sternite VII elongated, completely sclerotized; posterior two thirds covered with scattered setae; no discernible trichoid sensilla on all sternites. Ovipositor (Figs. 8–9): protrusible, unpigmented, without microtrichiae, with scattered strong setae ventrally and dorsally; cerci tiny, fused, each bearing pair of thick blunt-tipped setae and several finer setae. Male abdomen: Tergites I–VII as in female; tergite VIII bare, with median part longer and thicker than the lateral parts. Sternites II–VI as in female; sternite VII and VIII with several scattered setae (Fig. 10). Terminalia (Fig. 11–12): Gonocoxite massive, produced ventroapically. Gonostylus with unfused denticles. Cerci separated by V-shaped emargination. Hypoproct bilobed, with one seta at tip of each lobe. Parameres well-developed. Aedeagus cylindrical, with slit developed dorsally more than ventrally. Larva: Sternal spatula bidentate. One group of lateral papillae on each side of spatula, with two setose and one asetose papillae. Two setose sternal papillae, two setose dorsal papillae, and a pair of spiracles present on all thoracic segments and abdominal segments I–VIII. Abdominal terminal segment elongated and tapered. Pupa (Figs. 14–15): Exuviae not pigmented except the antennal and facial horns and prothoracic spiracle. Antennal and facial horns well-developed, each horn bidentate; two facial horns present, pointed. Prothoracic spiracle arched, pointed apically. Scutum medially without wrinkles surrounding the ecdysal line. Abdominal tergites without dorsal spines. Abdominal spiracles present on abdominal segments II–VI. Etymology: The generic name is derived from the host-plant generic name, Macaranga, and the Greek noun myia, meaning fly. The gender is feminine.Published as part of Elsayed, Ayman Khamis, Shimizu-Kaya, Usun, Itioka, Takao, Meleng, Paulus, Yukawa, Junichi & Tokuda, Makoto, 2018, A new genus and a new species of Schizomyiina (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae: Asphondyliini) inducing petiole galls on Macaranga bancana (Miq.) in Borneo, Malaysia, pp. 188-196 in Zootaxa 4482 (1) on pages 190-193, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4482.1.10, http://zenodo.org/record/144047

(Fig. 23): Tergites 1–7 rectangular, setulose, and with 1–2 posterior rows of strong setae; tergite 8 about 0.3 width of the tergite 7. Sternites 2–7 rectangular, setulose, with posterior row of hyaline setae. Ovipositor: segment 8 with lateral group of strong curved setae, the membranous part rugose with papillae surrounded with tiny spines. Lateral plate with ~ 26 strong, straight and thick setae. Aculeus curved and bare. Apical lamella oval, setose; the basal third of the dorsal margin covered with filiform short setae and the apical two thirds covered with short lanceolate setae. Holotype. Female, Egypt, Alexandria, El-Amria district (30 ° 59 '54.00"N, 29 ° 49 '7.00"E), 26.V. 2013, A. K. Elsayed, reared from leaf galls on leaves of Atriplex halimus. Paratypes. 1 female, 26.V. 2013, El-Amria district, Alexandria, reared by A. K. Elsayed from galls on leaves of Atriplex halimus. Distribution. Egypt, Alexandria, El-Amria district. Etymology. The name of that species is derived from Egypt. Biology. Larvae of P. aegyptiaca induce globular galls, 2-3 mm in diameter, on both surfaces of leaves (Fig. 8) of the salt marsh plant A. halimus. Each infested leaf has 2-6 galls, usually beyond the mid-rib. The galls were found in May and June 2013. The galls were collected and preserved in test tubes to rear the adult stage, but that method was not very successful, as only 2 females emerged and the pupation site was not determined. Another method was tested to rear the adults, the galls were collected and put in a plastic jar with soil at the bottom, but no adults emerged. Remarks. The three known species of Primofavilla, P. initialis Mamaev 1972, P. kaplini Fedotova 1991, and P. cystiphorae Fedotova 1991, are associated with Atriplex salina Siev., A. nana Parr-Sm., and A. tatarica L., respectively (Fedotova 1991 b, Gagné & Jaschhof 2014). The identification of Primofavilla species could be determined by the diagnostic morphological characters of the female ovipositor (Mamaev 1972, Fedotova 1991 b). The dorsal margin of the ovoid apical lobe of P. kaplini has only filiform setae, in contrast to P. aegyptiaca, P. cystiphorae and P. initialis, which have the filiform setae only on the basal third of the dorsal margin with the remaining setae either lanceolate (P. aegyptiaca and P. cystiphorae) or squamiform (P. initialis). Primofavilla aegyptiaca is closest to P. cystiphorae, but the former has dorsal and ventral sclerotized plates at the base of segment 9 of the female abdomen, while the latter does not. Primofavilla aegyptiaca also differs from P. cystiphorae in the distribution and number of strong setae on the lateral plate, which do not extend to the ventral side in P. aegyptiaca, unlike in P. cystiphorae. In addition to these differences, P. aegyptiaca has a bare saddle-like projection at the base of the aculeus. Therefore, P. aegyptiaca is considered to be a new species. Very similar galls were shown by De Stefani (1942) on the same host plant in Sicily, Italy, but the gall inducer was not identified, strongly suggesting the presence of P. aegyptiaca in Italy.Published as part of Elsayed, Ayman Khamis, Skuhravá, Marcela, Karam, Hedaya Hamza, Elminshawy, Abdelaziz & Al-Eryan, Mohamed Awad, 2015, New records and new species of gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) developing on Chenopodiaceae in Egypt, pp. 105-115 in Zootaxa 3904 (1) on pages 111-112, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3904.1.6, http://zenodo.org/record/23434

Distribution. Egypt (El-Amria district). Etymology. This species is named in honor of Mrs. Marcela Skuhravá, the Czech entomologist and expert on the family Cecidomyiidae (Diptera). Biology. Larvae of S. skuhravae induce small, slight swellings (Fig. 9 and 10) on male floral inflorescences of the salt marsh plant Atriplex halimus. The gall consists of a single chamber, and pupation takes place inside it. The pupal exuviae protrude from the emergence hole, and can be distinguished by their hyaline color. The galls were collected and the adults emerged from the end of May to October 2013. Remarks. The genus Stefaniella contains 9 species (Gagné & Jaschhof 2014). Dorchin & Freidberg (2008) revised all the species and found no significant differences between them in morphological characters. They concluded that study of the immature stages is needed, and molecular study will be useful to determine relationships between the species. They added that the currently the best characters for distinguishing species of Stefaniella are those of their galls. There are two known species of Stefaniella that induce galls on A. halimus: S. atriplicis Kieffer, 1898 and S. trinacriae De Stefani, 1900 (Dorchin & Freidberg 2008, Gagné & Jaschhof 2014). Stefaniella atriplicis induces small stem galls, each gall about 4–5 mm in diameter and multiple chambers (Skuhravá et al. 2007). Stefaniella trinacriae induces large galls on the stems, each gall about the size of a hazelnut and having multiple chambers. In contrast to the preceding species, S. skuhravae induces small galls on the male floral inflorescence, and each gall consists of only a single chamber. Therefore, we consider it to be a new species.Published as part of Elsayed, Ayman Khamis, Skuhravá, Marcela, Karam, Hedaya Hamza, Elminshawy, Abdelaziz & Al-Eryan, Mohamed Awad, 2015, New records and new species of gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) developing on Chenopodiaceae in Egypt, pp. 105-115 in Zootaxa 3904 (1) on pages 112-114, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3904.1.6, http://zenodo.org/record/23434
A taxonomic revision and molecular phylogeny of the eastern Palearctic species of the genera Schizomyia Kieffer and Asteralobia Kovalev (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae, Asphondyliini), with descriptions of five new species of Schizomyia from Japan
No full textThe 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 Schizomyia galiorum, 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.

Distribution. Egypt (Sidi Kreer, Abo-Talat, and El-Amria district). Etymology. This species is named in honor of Mrs. Hedaya H. Karam, professor of Economic Entomology at Alexandria University, Egypt. Biology. Larvae of B. karamae develop inside leaves of S. pruinosa (Chenopodiaceae). Attacked leaves do not show any external signs of infestation except for a dark reddish spot, but can be recognized once adults have emerged, leaving behind emergence holes and the protruding pupal exuviae. Each gall consists of a single chamber in which pupation takes place. The adults were collected from plants from the end of January to the beginning of March, and from the end of April to the middle of October, 2013. Baldratia karamae may have more than two generations per year. Remarks. According to Fedotova (1991 a) the genus Baldratia is divided into five groups on the basis of morphological characters of adults. By reviewing these characters, it was clear that the new species, B. karamae, belongs to the salicorniae Group, which is characterized by the apical lamella positioned at an obtuse angle relative to segment 9, and the lateral plate embraces the entire base of the apical lobe. The salicorniae Group previously contained three species, viz. B. salicorniae, B. suaedifolia, and B. balchanensis (Fedotova 1991 a, 1992). The thin spine of the female ovipositor is longer and thinner in B. suaedifolia, and B. balchanensis than in B. salicorniae. This new species has a long thin spine that does not exceed the base of the aculeus, in contrast to B. balchanensis which has a longer thin spine. Baldratia suaedifolia has a thin spine covered with split setae, while it is bare in B. karamae. Currently only five gall midge species are known to be associated with the host plant Suaeda (Gagné & Jaschhof 2014). Two of them, B. aelleni Möhn, 1969, and B. suaedae Möhn, 1969, were described on the basis of larvae alone (Möhn 1969), and can therefore not be compared to other adults in the genus. Baldratia karamae larvae that develop in leaves of Suaeda pruinosa, differ from the three other species, viz. B. occulta Dorchin, 2001, associated with S. monoica Forssk; B. suaedifolia Fedotova, 1991, associated with Suaeda acuminata (Meyer); and B. terteriani Mamaev & Mirumian, 1990, associated with Suaeda altissima (L.), on the basis published descriptions of these species (Mamaev & Mirumian 1990, Fedotova 1991 a, Dorchin 2001). An unique feature of the B. karamae is the stable number of antennal flagellomeres (2 + 10) in both sexes, in contrast to other species of Baldratia which have a variable number of flagellomeres between the sexes, viz. B. suaedifolia (2 + 12 in female versus 2 + 10 in male), B. occulta (2 + 13-14 in female versus 2 + 12 in male), and B. terteriani (2 + 14 in female versus 2 + 12 in male). The lateral plate of the ovipositor of B. karamae is broad at its base, narrow in the middle and covered with split setae, but B. occulta has a lateral plate which is narrow at the base and bearing 10-15 straight setae, with split setae only on the basal part. The lateral plate of B. terteriani has a small lateral projection at the base that is not present in B. karamae.Published as part of Elsayed, Ayman Khamis, Skuhravá, Marcela, Karam, Hedaya Hamza, Elminshawy, Abdelaziz & Al-Eryan, Mohamed Awad, 2015, New records and new species of gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) developing on Chenopodiaceae in Egypt, pp. 105-115 in Zootaxa 3904 (1) on pages 108-110, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3904.1.6, http://zenodo.org/record/23434
