Juss.	<div><p>P. pyroidea</p> <p>is intensely attacked by the galler. Galls are arranged in groups or separately, on the abaxial surface of apical leaves, near the leaf veins. Asingle galling larva is found in each gall, where the pupation occurs. Adults emerge by an opening situated adaxially.</p> <p>https://doi.org/ 10.1016/j.rbe.2018.06.003 0085-5626/© 2018 Sociedade Brasileira de Entomologia. Published by Elsevier Editora Ltda.

They are characterized as a round, redbrownish spot around the gall initiation site. In these reactions, morphological and histological changes cause the death of the attacked tissue, which culminate in the localization, containment and death of the galling larvae (Fernandes and Negreiros, 2001). Fernandes et al. (2003) stressed the importance of the hypersensitivity reaction, a mechanism by which the host plant identifies the attacked site, eliminates attempts to gall induction and protects itself against these insects.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/BE1B8794FFF4031CFCEC294B55E067C7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The name pterandrae is the genitive of the hostplant genus.</p> <p>Material examined. Holotype male. Brazil, Minas Gerais: Quartel São João, I. 2009, L. oliveira col., MNRJ. Paratypes, same locality, data and collector— 5 males, 18 females, 2 pupal exuviae, 2 pupae and 3 larvae, MNRJ.</p> <p>Comments. Myrciamyia Maia, 1996 is the unique genus of Lopesiini whose males have hypoproct almost simple. As the new galler presents this same character, it was included in Myrciamyia. Other generic characters are: adults—eyes with facets circular, occipital process absent, flagellomeres binodal in male and cylindrical in female, flagellomere necks setulose in female, 12th flagellomere with apical process in both sexes, palpus four-segmented, tarsal claws toothed, bent near basal third, male terminalia: gonocoxites with broad mesobasal lobe, cercal lobes ovoid, female—ovipositor barely protrusible, cerci separate; pupa—antennal bases with a short projection, rounded apically; 2nd–8th abdominal segments with dorsal spines, larva—prothoracic spatula elongate and twotoothed, four pairs of corniform terminal papillae (Maia, 1996).</p> <p>Myrciamyia was previously known by a single species, Myrciamyia maricaensis Maia, 1995, an inducer of galls on Myrcia ovata Cambess. (Myrtaceae) from restingas in the State of Rio de Janeiro. So, the geographic distribution of the genus is extended to the State of Minas Gerais and Cerrado phytophysiognomy. The new species differs from M. maricaensis in several characters: (1) larva—spatula with wider basis and teeth more close to each other in the new species than in M. maricaensis; (2) pupa—apical seta 0.04–0.05 mm long in M. pterandrae (0.19 mm in M. maricaensis), prothoracic spiracle 0.18–0.21 mm long in M. pterandrae (0.15 mm in M. maricaensis); (3) adults—male flagellomeres with bare neck in M. pterandrae and setulose in M. maricaensis, female circumfila almost straight in M. pterandrae and sinuous in M. maricaensis, male circumfila with loops of regular length in M. pterandrae and irregular in M. maricaensis, forelegs with two-toothed tarsal claws and mid- and hindlegs with simple claws tarsal in M. pterandrae and toothedinalllegs of M. maricaensis, andgonocoxitesandgonostylus more slender in the new species than in M. maricaensis.</p> <p>A new host plant, P. pyroidea (Malpighiaceae), is added to the genus Myrciamyia.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/BE1B8794FFF50319FF3A2B8F557060F7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
