Hypodiplosis paederiae (Kieffer & Docters van Leeuwen-Reijnvaan)

[ Figs 17 m–o]

Clinodiplosis paederiae Kieffer & DvLR, 1910: 129 .

Hypodiplosis paederiae: Kieffer (1913: 187) , new combination.

Type series. Syntypes, male, female and pupa, reared from leaf-roll galls on Paederia foetida L. collected at Salatiga, Java, [likely in] i-1909 (Kieffer & DvLR 1910; DvLR & DvL 1926). The types are presumed lost ( Gagné & Jaschhof 2017).

Description. As for the genus above. Male length, 1.5 mm, female, 2.0 mm.

Biology. This species causes a leaf roll gall on Paederia foetida (Rubiaceae) . The gall was collected in Java and described by Kieffer & DvLR (1910), DvLR & DvL (1909a, Fig. 12 ) and DvLR & DvL (1926, Fig. 1012 [ Fig. 17m ]).

Geographical distribution. This species was found in Java: Salatiga , alt. 600 m, i-1909 ; Mt Welirang , alt. 800 m, vi-1911 ; Pare, near Kediri , alt. 200 m, v-1912 ; Srondol, near Semarang , alt. 200 m, iii-1913 ; Bandung , alt. 800, vii-1915 and vi-1918 ; Cikampek , alt. 75 m, vi-1924 and on Sebesi Island , alt. 400 m, iv-1921 (DvLR & DvL (1926, gall Nos 1426, 1428).

Remarks. We cannot ignore here that a similar gall was found in the Philippines ( Uichanco (1919, gall No. 18165, Figs I-1, I-6, VIII-5 [ Figs 17 a–c]) and described as Itonida paederiae Felt (1919: 293) , an unplaced species of Cecidomyiinae ( Gagné & Jaschhof 2017) . See Addendum at the end of this paper for the newly combined Eucalytodiplosis paederiae (Felt) and its redescription.
