Abstract
Leaf-stem galls on Carpodetus serratus were collected and examined over approximately 1 year. The galls, formed by an undescribed gall midge, are initiated twice annually; in spring, and autumn. Gall midge larvae were parasitized by 4 minute Hymenoptera: Torymoides antipoda, Fusiterga gallarum and a species of Eupelmidae (all Chalcidoidea), and Platygaster sp. (Proctotrupoidea). The gall midge and Platygaster are probably bivoltine. Life cycles of the 3 chalcidoids were less apparent and may be more complex. Interactions between insects in this host-parasitoid community are discussed.
