Calophya patagonica sp. n. (®gures 8A±F, 18) Description . Adult. Coloration. Head and body dark brown to black. Tips of genal processes brown. Legs yellow, apicotarsi greyish brown. Genitalia variegated ochreous and brown. Forewings yellowish with brown veins. Young specimens with more reddish coloration darkening gradually. Structure . Anterior portion of vertex covered in very short and inconspicuous setae; genal processes moderately long, slender, contiguous in the middle. Forewings (®gure 8A) narrowly oval, widest in the middle, angularly rounded apically; surface spinules present in all cells, forming smaller or larger patches along outer margin. Genitalia as in ®gure 8B±F. Male subgenital plate short; proctiger thick; paramere lamellar, long, truncate apically; distal portion of aedeagus straight, long, with small globular apical dilatation. Female proctiger and subgenital plate with long, pointed apical processes. Measurements in mm (3,l 3 m).

Fifth instar larva (®gure 18). Dark brown. Anterior margin of head weakly concavely rounded, not cleft in the middle. Antennae straight, without sectasetae. Legs with claws. Anterior margin of humeral lobes level with posterior eye margin. Abdominal dorsum without median row of horns. Caudal plate ratio 0.59. Circumanal ring oval. Head and wing bud margins with short thick setae; abdominal margin with lanceolate setae. Host plant, gall and biology . Schinus patagonicus . Inducing ¯at disk-shaped galls on the leaves. The galls are usually situated at the leaf base or along the mid-rib. The ori®ce is devoid of hairs. D istribution . Argentina (Chubut, RõÂo Negro), Chile (IX Region). Material examined .
