Abstract

Four gall midge species (Insecta, Diptera, Cecidomyiidae), Bruggmannia acaudata, B. elongata, B. robusta, and Pisphondylia brasiliensis, are recorded for the first time in the State of Bahia. All of them induce galls on Guapira opposita (Nyctaginaceae), the first three in leaves and the fourth in buds.
