There are still many gall systems associated with larvae of   Lepidoptera   in which the true gall-inducers have not been identified to species. Reports on misidentification of gall inducers have been recurrent for these galls, particularly in complex gall-systems that may include inquilines, kleptoparasites, and cecidophages, among other feeding guilds such as predators and parasitoid wasps. Here we describe and illustrate the adults, larvae, pupae and galls, based on light and scanning microscopy, of    Andescecidium   parrai    gen. et sp. n.  and    Oliera   saizi    sp. n. , two sympatric cecidosid moths that are associated with    Schinus   polygamus    (Cav.) Cabrera (  Anacardiaceae  ) in central Chile. Adults, immatures, and galls of the former did not conform to any known cecidosid genus. Galls of    A.   parrai    are external, spherical, and conspicuous, being known for more than one century. However, their induction has been mistakenly associated with either unidentified   Coleoptera   (original description) or    Oliera   argentinana    Brèthes (recently), a distinct cecidosid species with distribution restricted to the eastern   Andes  . Galls of    O.   saizi    had been undetected, as they are inconspicuous. They occur under the bark within swollen stems, and may occur on the same plant, adjacent to those of    A.   parrai   . We also propose a time-calibrated phylogeny using sequences from mitochondrial and nuclear loci, including specimens of the new proposed taxa. Thus in addition to clarifying the taxonomy of the Chilean cecidosid species we also tested their monophyly in comparison to congeneric species and putative specimens of all genera of Neotropical and African cecidosids.

Overlooked gall-inducing moths revisited, with the description of    Andescecidium   parrai    gen. et sp. n. and    Oliera   saizi    sp. n. from Chile (  Lepidoptera  ,   Cecidosidae  )
