Ocorrência e caracterização de galhas de insetos em um fragmento de mata semicaducifólia do Câmpus Samambaia, Goiânia, GO, Brasil.

The botanical families with higher gall richness were Styracaceae (7), Burseraceae (7), Fabaceae (5) and Siparunaceae (4). The leaf-galls were the most common, the majority occurred in isolation and, regarding the morphology, globoid and glabrous galls were more frequent. There was a greater emergence of Hymenoptera than Diptera (Cecidomyiidae). Studies in other forest fragments in the region as well as in the forest canopy should be implemented.porAcesso AbertoCecidomyiidaeCerradoInsetos galhadoresPlantas hospedeirasCecidomyiidaeSavannah (Cerrado)Galling insectsHost plantsArtigo
