| Abstrakt: | Abstract: During investigations of three Greek islands, 50 species of the family Cecidomyiidae were found. Gall midges are associated with 40 host plant species belonging to 20 plant families. 32 gall midge species were found in Lefkada, 33 species in Rhodos and 14 species in Zakynthos. 11 species are new records for Greece: Asphondylia coridothymi Skuhravá, 2011 on Coridothymus capitatus, Jaapiella clematidicola Skuhravá, 2011 on Clematis flammea, Janetiella onosmae Skuhravá, 2011 on Onosma frutescens, Phlomidiomyia pustularis Skuhravá, 2011 on Phlomis fruticosa, Contarinia jacobaeae (Loew, 1850) on Senecio jacobaea, Contarinia tragopogonis Kieffer, 1909 on Tragopogon sp., Dasineura ericaescopariae (Dufour, 1837) on Erica arborea, Dryomyia cocciferae (Marchal, 1897) on Quercus coccifera, and three species identified to the genus level, viz. Asphondylia sp. on Laburnum anagyroides, Contarinia sp. on Quercus ilex and Dasineura sp. on Quercus coccifera. The present fauna of Greece consists of 223 species. Dasineura oleae (Angelini, 1831) causing leaf galls on Olea europaea, Dasineura turionum (Kieffer et Trotter, 1904) causing stem galls on Asparagus acutifolius and D. plicatrix (Loew, 1850) causing leaf galls on Rubus sp. are the most abundant gall midge species. Zoogeographical analysis: 64% of gall midge species are Mediterrranean, 24% European, 6% Eurosiberian and 6% Holarctic. The average species number at one locality is 7 for Rhodos and 9 for Lefkada. Annotated lists of gall midge species and a list of host plants attacked by gall midges are given. |
