A new species of Procontarinia (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), an important new pest of mango in the Philippines
Abstract
A new species of cecidomyiid, Procontarinia frugivora Gagné, is reported from mango, Mangifera indica (Anacardiaceae), in Luzon Island, Philippines, where it has become a serious pest. Adults, pupae, and larvae are described, illustrated, and compared to other Procontarinia species. Erosomyia is a new junior synonym of Procontarinia, so Erosomyia mangiferae Felt is newly combined in Procontarinia. Procontarinia mangiferae (Felt 1916) becomes a new junior homonym of P. mangiferae (Felt 1911), so is given the new replacement name P. biharana Gagné. Rabdophaga mangiferae Mani is newly referred to Procontarinia where it is made a new synonym of P. mangiferae (Felt 1911).
