Surveys of host plants of insect galls have been performed in different regions of Brazil. The knowledge of species of host plants of insect galls is fundamental to further studies of plant-galling insect interactions. However, a list of host plant species of gall-inducing insects has not yet been compiled for the flora of the Midwest Region of Brazil.
We provide a compilation of the plant species reported to host insect galls in the Cerrado of the state of Goiás in the Midwest Region of Brazil. Altogether we found records for 181 species of 47 families of host plants, which hosted 365 distinct gall morphotypes.
Cerrado, galls, Goiás, host plants, Neotropical savannas, plant-insect interactions
Insect galls are structures formed by the development of larvae or nymphs in the interior of plant tissues (
It is already known that there exists a high diversity of insect galls in the Neotropics (
We compiled data from different surveys of plant species that are hosts of insect galls from several locations in the state of Goiás in the Midwest Region of Brazil (Fig.

Examples of insect galls recorded to state of Goiás, Midwest, Brazil. 2005-2013. a) Stem gall of Apion sp. (Coleoptera, Brentidae) on Diospyros hispida (Ebenaceae); b) Stem gall of Palaeomystella oligophaga (Lepidoptera, Coleophoridae) on Macairea radula (Melastomataceae); c) Leaf galls of Neotrioza sp. (Hemiptera, Psyllidae) on Psidium salutare (Myrtaceae); d) Leaf gall of Myrciariamyia admirabilis (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) on Erythroxylum suberosum (Erythroxylaceae); e) Leaf gall of an undetermined Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) on Anadenanthera peregrina (Fabaceae); f) Leaf galls of an undetermined Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) on Qualea parviflora (Vochysiaceae) with the detail of a larva in the internal chamber.
We recorded a total of 181 species of 47 families of plants that host insect galls in the state of Goiás (Table

The genera Byrsonima (Malpighiaceae), Qualea (Vochysiaceae) and Myrcia (Myrtaceae) were the richest in gall morphotypes, with 22, 21 and 17 morphotypes, respectively. Byrsonima pachyphylla A. Juss. (Malpighiaceae), Protium heptaphyllum March. (Burseraceae), Qualea parviflora Mart. (Vochysiaceae), and Styrax pohlii A.DC. (Styracaceae) were the host species with the most diverse gall morphotypes. Other important host species were: Caryocar brasiliense Cambess. (Caryocaraceae) (7), Qualea multiflora Mart. (Vochysiaceae) (7), Roupala montana Aubl. (Proteaceae) (7), Qualea grandiflora Mart. (Vochysiaceae) (6) and Siparuna guianensis Aubl. (Siparunaceae) (6).
We have systematically compiled the results of studies on plant species that host insect galls in the Cerrado of the state of Goiás for the first time, which resulted in new records of 73 (40.3%) plant species and 173 (47.4%) gall morphospecies. Our results corroborate previous studies that indicate Fabaceae as the plant family that hosts the greatest diversity of galling insects in the Neotropical Region (
We found that Byrsonima, Qualea and Myrcia were the genera hosting the greatest number of gall morphotypes. These results differ from that observed in other regions of Brazil. For example,
Most of the studies performed in Brazil have shown a high diversity of galling insects in the Cerrado (
WSA, BAR, TMS, ECS, FAGG, CSS and BBS collect data in field and help in data compilation. WSA created the map and formated the figures. WSA and EDPJ wrote the manuscript. All authors read the manuscript and contributed with suggestions.
