          Abstract

          Thirty-six morphologically different types of galls were obtained in leaves, leaflets, veins, petioles, stems, tendrils and flower buds from twenty-five species of plants in the Pé-de-Gigante Reserve, municipality of Santa Rita do Passa Quatro, state of São Paulo, Brazil. The host plant species belong to the closely related families Anacardiaceae, Annonaceae, Asteraceae, Bignoniaceae, Caryocaraceae, Erythroxylaceae, Fabaceae, Malpighiaceae, Melastomataceae, Myrtaceae, Ochnaceae, Polygalaceae, Sapindaceae, Sapotaceae, and Smilacaceae. The most common gall makers included Cecidomyiidae (Diptera), Pteromalidae (Hymenoptera) and Diaspididae (Sternorrhyncha-Hemiptera). This is the first report of galls found in the following plant genera: Gochnatia (Asteraceae), Distictela (Bignoniaceae), Banisteriopsis (Malpighiaceae), Ouratea (Ochnaceae), and Bredemeyera (Polygalaceae). The results of this work contribute to the body of knowledge about the relationship among host plants, gall makers, and the gall morphology of Pé-de-Gigante Cerrado Reserve.

          Trinta e seis diferentes tipos morfológicos de galhas foram obtidos em folhas, foliólulos, nervuras, pecíolos, ramos e inflorescências de vinte e cinco espécies de plantas na Reserva de Cerrado Pé-de-Gigante, Município de Santa Rita do Passa Quatro, SP, Brasil. As plantas hospedeiras pertencem às famílias: Anacardiaceae, Annonaceae, Asteraceae, Bignoniaceae, Caryocaraceae, Erythroxylaceae, Fabaceae, Malpighiaceae, Melastomataceae, Myrtaceae, Ochnaceae, Polygalaceae, Sapindaceae, Sapotaceae e Smilacaceae. Entre as famílias dos insetos galhadores foram observados Cecidomyiidae (Diptera), Pteromalidae (Hymenoptera) e Diaspididae (Sternorrhyncha-Hemiptera). Este é o primeiro relato da presença de galhas em plantas dos seguintes gêneros: Gochnatia (Asteraceae), Distictela (Bignoniaceae), Banisteriopsis (Malpighiaceae), Ouratea (Ochnaceae) e Bredemeyera (Polygalaceae). Os resultados deste trabalho contribuem para o aumento do conhecimento das relações entre plantas hospedeiras e galhadores e da morfologia das galhas da Reserva de Cerrado Pé-de-Gigante.
