Amphibolips cibriani Pujade-Villar

Amphibolips cibriani Pujade-Villar, 2018 ; In Pujade-Villar et al., 2018: 151–158.

Type material examined. HOLOTYPE. ♀ (deposited in JP-V col., UB) with the following labels: “MEX-316, Santa Fe ( Cuajimalpa , Ciudad de México), 19° 21’ 0.99” N, 99°16’ 27.02” W ” (white label), “ Q. crassipes, 2630 msnm., (25. iv.2017) 10–20.v.2017 ”, col. DCT-2906” (white label); “ GoogleMaps Holotype Amphibolips cibriani Pujade-Villar n. sp., desig. JP-V 2018 ” (red label) . Paratypes: 4ǒ with the same data as the holotype ( UB) .

Additional material. Deposited in UB: (4ǒ) with the same data as the holotype, adults were cut out from the galls; “MEX 299, MEXICO, Santa Fe, Cuajimalpa, Ciudad de México, 19° 21’ 0.99” N, 99°16’ 27.02” W, (10. vii.2014) only galls ( UB), Ex Q. crassipes , leg. D. Cibrian ” GoogleMaps .

Diagnosis. This species is characterized by incomplete notauli and rounded mesoscutellum with posterolateral projections not pointing upwards ( Fig. 11A View FIGURE 11 ); antenna black in the first half and conspicuously lighter in distal half; forewing infuscate, with distal half infuscate and a hyaline cross band at distal third of radial cell reaching posterior margin of wing. Closely resembles A. bassae n. sp. and A. bromus n. sp. (see Diagnosis above in the corresponding species). The gall also differs from all other known galls from Mexico and Central America (see below).

Gall. ( Figs 14 View FIGURE 14 I–K) A subglobose bud gall, approximately 20 mm in diameter. Outer shell lignified and hard. Surface rugulose, uniformly light brown, with short apical tip and peduncle. The gall is monolocular, with a spongy internal tissue, filling the entire gall, with central rounded larval cell.

Host. Quercus crassipes .

Biology. Only females are known. The galls were collected in April; adults emerged in May.

Distribution. Mexico: Ciudad de México State.
