Abstract
Larvae of a previously unknown species of gall midge were found feeding inside young fruits of mango, Mangifera indica (Anacardiaceae), in Andhra Pradesh, India, causing severe damage to crop. The new species is named Asphondylia mangiferi Kolesik & David, its morphology is described, a COI mitochondrial gene segment is sequenced, and the basic biology is given. The new species is the first Asphondylia Loew known to feed on mango and the third gall midge known to infest mango fruit worldwide.LSID urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:394D1A93-DE6A-42E9-AF8C-8B002B84B231
