Abstract
Background A gall midge species (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) inducing leaf bud galls on MagnoliakobusDC.var.borealis Sarg. (Magnoliaceae) was found in Hokkaido and northern Honshu, Japan. New information Based on its morphology, the species is regarded as an undescribed species of the genus Pseudasphondylia Monzen (Cecidomyiinae, Cecidomyiidi, Asphondyliini). The species is herein described as Pseudasphondyliasaohimea Matsuda, Elsayed and Tokuda sp. n. The new species is easily distinguishable from its congeners by the number of adult palpal segments and the shape of the male terminalia and larval spatula.
