Abstract：
Contarinia ampelitsiae n. sp. Dorchin & Fazan is described as a newly discovered gall-midge species (Diptera: Cecidoymiidae) forming galls in flowers of Zelkova abelicea (Ulmaceae), a tree species endemic to the Mediterranean island of Crete (Greece). Larvae develop within modified filaments of male flowers, contrary to many Contarinia species that develop freely in flowers or in simple flower galls. The species has one generation per year, and its galls are sometimes found in great numbers on individual trees, thus affecting both fruit quantity and weight. This is the first report of a gall midge from Zelkova and the first record of Contarinia from Ulmaceae. Based on its host-plant association and on the barcoding section of the mtCOI gene, this species has no obvious relatives within Contarinia.
摘要：
扁桃体门。Dorchin＆Fazan被描述为新发现的gall虫物种（双翅目：Cecidoymiidae）在Zelkovaabelicea（Ulmaceae）的花朵中形成gall虫，地中海克里特岛（希腊）特有的树种。幼虫在雄花的修饰细丝内发育，与许多在花朵或简单的花朵中自由发育的Contarinia物种相反。该物种每年有一代，有时在单个树上发现大量的gall，从而影响水果的数量和重量。这是Zelkova的gall虫的第一份报告，也是Ulmaceae的Contarinia的第一份记录。基于其寄主植物关联和mtCOI基因的条形码部分，该物种在Contarinia内没有明显的亲戚。
