“…Among known schizomyiine genera, Parampelomyia is similar morphologically to the Vitis-associated genus, Ampelomyia, and the catch-all genus Schizomyia. However, Parampelomyia is distinctive from both genera by the following characters: male flagellomeres of Parampelomyia bear two simple connected whorls of circumfila, but sinuous circumfila in Ampelomyia and Schizomyia; the protrusible part of ovipositor is bulbous at the base in Parampelomyia, while wider at the base in Ampelomyia and extremely attenuate most known species of Schizomyia; and the gonostylus bears two teeth in Parampelomyia, but a single tooth in Ampelomyia and Schizomyia (Gagné and Marohasy 1997;Gagné and Menjivar 2008;Kolesik and Butterill 2015;Elsayed et al 2018aElsayed et al , 2019aElsayed et al , 2019bElsayed et al , 2019cElsayed et al , 2020bElsayed et al , 2020c. Furthermore, Parampelomyia differs from Ampelomyia by the following characteristics: tarsomere I is simple in Parampelomyia, but possesses an apicoventral prolongation in Ampelomyia; tarsal claw is bent at midlength in Parampelomyia, while it is bent beyond midlength in Ampelomyia; female cerci are fused in Parampelomyia, but semi-fused in Ampelomyia; and the dorsalmost pleural papillae of larval abdominal segment VIII is not shifted to a dorsal position in Parampelomyia as in Ampelomyia (Elsayed et al 2019).…”

We describe a gall midge Parampelomyia yukawai Elsayed and Tokuda gen. nov. sp. nov. belonging to the subtribe Schizomyiina (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae: Asphondyliini) based on an integrative taxonomic study. This species forms barely-swollen flower bud galls on the porcelain berry Ampelopsis brevipedunculata var. heterophylla (Vitaceae) in Japan. The new genus is distinguishable from all known schizomyiine genera by tarsomere I lacking a ventroapical extension, the bulbous base of the protrusible portion of the ovipositor, the fused and sclerotized female cerci, the bidentate gonostylus, and the larval terminal abdominal segment that bears two corniform, two asetose and six setose papillae. The new genus is compared with and separated from the similar genera Schizomyia and Ampelomyia morphologically and phylogenetically.

“…The genus Schizomyia belongs to the gall midges. It is distinguished by its global distribution (Frauenfeld, 1859, Elsayed et al, 2018, Elsayed et al, 2019, Elsayed et al, 2020, Santos et al, 2020. The only Schizomyia species known to pupate inside their galls are Schizomyia botellus and S. buboniae.…”

In some localities of Sinai, the gall-midge Schizomyia botellus Dorchin & Freidberg, 2011 (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) induce elongated galls on the axillary buds of Deverra triradiata Hochst. ex Boiss (Family: Apiaceae). The present work studies the relationship between S. botellus and D. tortuosa. Furthermore, the present study predicted the distribution of S. botellus in Sinai, Egypt by using Maxent modeling, in addition, to studying the influence of elevation and plant cover on its distribution.The predominance of S. botellus occurred from January to April and adults emerge from the gall at the beginning of April after pupation. Endoparasitoids of the genus Inostemma (Platygastridae)occasionally attack the larvae of S. botellus. The distribution of S. botellus in Sinai is affected positively by plant cover and negatively by elevation. The predicted highly suitable habitat of S. botellus is mainly concentrated inside the boundary of the St. Katherine protectorate in south Sinai. The most bioclimatic factors that had an impact on S. botellus' predicted range was the maximum temperature of the warmest month, isothermality, and the amount of precipitation in the coldest quarter. Our findings can help ecologists define sampling regions and create conservation plans for this type of environmental interaction.
