| Abstract: | A gall midge that attacks citrus flower buds in southwestern Japan is redescribed as C. okadai (Miyoshi) comb. nov. and is compared with C. citri Barnes, originally described from cultivated citrus in Mauritius. C. okadai, for which a neotype is designated, is distinguished from C. citri by morphological characters of the adult males and females and the larvae. The known host-plants, biology and distribution of C. okadai are recorded, and new Japanese and English names for the species are proposed. The status of records of C. citri from Sicily, Cyprus, Israel, India, China and Hong Kong is discussed. |
