| Abstrakt: | Abstract: a_1The known gall midge fauna of Egypt is composed of 48 species belonging to 22 genera. The two most species rich genera are Baldratia Kieffer, 1897, and Dasineura Rondani, 1840, each with six species. Most species are phytophagous and cause galls on various host plants; but Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani, 1847), Diadiplosis donaldi (Harris, 1968), D. hirticornis Felt, 1915, Dicrodiplosis manihoti Harris, 1981 and Feltiella acarisuga (Vallot, 1827) are zoophagous; and Asynapta phragmitis Giraud, 1863, Mycodiplosis coniophaga (Winnertz, 1853) and M. triticina (Barnes, 1936) are mycophagous. Phytophagous species are associated with 37 plant species which belong to ten plant families; 16 species are associated with Chenopodiaceae and six with Tamaricaceae. Usually only one species of gall midges is associated with each host plant species but Atriplex halimus (Chenopodiaceae) hosts four species: Asphondylia punica Marchal, 1897 (= A. conglomerata De Stefani, 1900), Primofavilla aegyptiaca Elsayed, 2014, Stefaniella trinacriae De Stefani, 1900, and S. skuhravae Elsayed, 2014; Anabasis setifera (Chenopodiaceae) two species: Baldratia aegyptiaca Möhn, 1969 and B. desertorum Möhn, 1969; Phragmites australis (Poaceae) two species: Giraudiella inclusa (Frauenfeld, 1862) and Asynapta phragmitis Giraud, 1863; Traganum nudatum (Chenopodiaceae) two species: Baldratia tragani Möhn, 1969 and Stefaniola ventriosa Möhn, 1971; Tamarix spp. (Tamaricaceae) host six species of gall midges. Zoogeographical analysis: most species (75%) are Mediterranean, 10.5% Euro-Asian, 6.2% Holarctic or cosmopolitan, 4.1% Afro-Asian and 4.1% Afrotropical. |
