Abstract
ABSTRACT A gall midge (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), originally described as Ascelis (?) multitudinea Tepper, 1893 and erroneously placed in Coccoidea (Hemiptera), is redescribed and placed in Eocincticornia multitudinea (Tepper) n. comb. The larvae of E. multitudinea feed and induce large, spherical, green, yellow or red galls on leaves of Eucalyptus obliqua, E. piperita, E. baxteri, E. radiata, E. goniocalyx and E. fastigata in south-eastern Australia. The scope of the genus Eocincticornia Felt is updated. Zoobank LSID of publication: http://zoobank.org/ urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:09B77C0C-93A8-46F1-AC1E-397654AB5E9
