First report of Hymenopteran parasite, Ormyrulus gibbus (Boucek) on mango gall midge, Procontarinia matteiana Kieffer & Cecconi in Gujarat

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is infested with 250 species of plant-feeding arthropods throughout the world. About 26 species produce galls on various parts of mango tree (Gagne and Medina, 2004). Most of the mango gall inducing species belong to genus Procontarinia (Cecidomyiidae: Diptera) (Boucek, 1986). Procontarinia matteiana Kieffer & Cecconi is a common gall midge on mango in India (Askari and Radjabi, 2003). The damage caused by these gall midges sometime becomes a serious threat as they are mostly unrestricted by parasites.
