Genus Bruggmanniella View in CoL belongs to the subtribe Asphondyliina and comprises 17 known species worldwide ( Gagné and Jaschhof 2017; Lin et al. 2019 2020; Garcia et al. 2020; Rodrigues et al. 2020). In this article, three new species are described and one known species is recorded from Taiwan for the first time; all the species are associated with Cinnamomum species.
Morphological features of Bruggmanniella are summarized in Gagné (1994) and Gagné et al. (2004), and they were compared to related Palearctic genera in Tokuda and Yukawa (2006). Briefly, Bruggmanniella species are separated from Pseudasphondylia Monzen, 1955 and Probruggmanniella Möhn, 1961 by the presence of setae on the larval cervical papillae and on all papillae of the ventral surface, less constricted male flagellomeres, convolute male circumfila, presense of an apical spur on the first tarsomeres, and the absense of setae on lateral papillae on larval thoracic segments (Tokuda 2004; Möhn 1961a; Tokuda and Yukawa 2006). In addition, two separate teeth on the gonostylus are regarded as a common feature of Bruggmanniella ( Tokuda and Yukawa 2006) . However, in this article we describe a new species based on its bidentate tooth of the gonostylus and other morphological features that fit well with the genus; in addition, our molecular phylogenetic analysis clearly indicates that the species is in the clade of Bruggmanniella (see below).

Otherwise as in male.
Pupa: Body length 3.2–3.4 mm, pupal skin not pigmented except for antennal horn. Antennal horn 450– 500 µm long, dorsoventrally flattened, anterior margin narrowed, posterolaterally with small lobe ( Fig. 6A View Fig ); cephalic seta 80–90 µm long; frons without horns; facial papillae not visible; prothoracic spiracle 280–320 µm long; spiracles on second to sixth abdominal segments 25–30 µm long; second to seventh abdominal segments with 9 to 10 transverse rows of spines; eight dorsal papillae on first to seventh abdominal segments, most outer and second inner pairs with seta; two dorsal papillae on eighth abdominal segment, each with seta; each segment with pleural papilla, each with seta.

Lin leg.; 2 larvae (on slides, NCHU), 13 pupae (4 on slides and 9 in ethanol, NCHU), Taichung City, Mt. Tungma, 25.iv.2017, S.F. Lin leg.
Etymology: The species name is derived from Chinese pronunciation of host plant species.
Host: Cinnamomum subavenium Miq. is distributed in Borneo, Cambodia, China South-Central, China Southeast, Malaya, Myanmar, Sulawesi, Taiwan, and Vietnam ( Lu et al. 2000; Hassler 2019).
Gall: Multi-chambered ellipsoid galls are induced on stem. The size is smaller than 1 cm long and wide.
Distribution: Mountain areas of Taiwan.
Life history: Immature larvae are found in the gall from October to the following February and mature larvae in March. Pupae are found from late March to early April and adults emerge in early May. This species does not seem to be univoltine, because well-developed galls are not found every year in the same locality. Instead, fresh galls are found biennially, suggesting that the species has a two-year life type of cycle.
Adult: Head. Eye bridge two or three facets long; frontoclypeal setal counts as in table 3; palpus 4-segmented ( Fig. 3A View Fig ), first globose, second to fourth elongated and subequal in length; distal three flagellomeres as in figure 3B and 3C. Thorax. First tarsomeres as in figure 3D; empodia equal length to claws in male, shorter than claw in female ( Fig. 3E, F View Fig ). Wing 2.0– 2.8 mm long in male (n = 7, Fig. 3G View Fig ) and 2.8–3.2 mm long in female (n = 4, Fig. 3H View Fig ); thoracic setal and scale counts as in table 3. Male abdomen. Terminalia ( Fig. 6B View Fig ): hypoproct shorter than cerci, shallowly incised V-shaped emargination; 2 solid teeth of gonostylus rather apart from each other; gonocoxite slightly extended beyond gonostylus. Female abdomen. Seventh sternite 469–538 μm long (n = 8), 2.0 times as long as sixth sterminte; needle part of ovipositor 0.85– 0.92 mm long, 1.8 times as long as seventh sternite. Otherwise as in B. turoguei .
Pupa: Body length 1.8–2.4 mm. Antennal horn dorsoventrally flattened, anterior margin narrowed, posterolaterally with small lobe, antennal horn 460–480 µm long ( Fig. 6B View Fig ); cephalic papilla with seta, 75–85 µm long; prothoracic horn 280–310 µm long; spiracles on second to sixth abdominal segments 25–30 µm long; second to seventh abdominal segments with nine to 10 transverse rows of spines. Otherwise as in B. turoguei .
Full growth larva: Body color yellow, body length 1.6–1.8 mm. Second antennal segment short, conical; cervical papillae with seta. Sternal spatula 260–300 µm long ( Fig. 6E View Fig ), anteriorly with two lobes; four lateral papillae and a sternal papillae present on each side of all thoracic segments ( Fig. 6E View Fig ), each with seta. Otherwise as in B. turoguei sp. nov.
