Ostracocoelia mirabilis Giglio-Tos View in CoL

Ostracocoelia mirabilis Giglio-Tos 1893: 11 View in CoL (Type ♀ (IMZ), Mexico; not examined).

Ceratitoedaspis palpalis Aczél 1953: 111 View in CoL (Holotype ♂ (USNM), Guatemala: Yepocapa; examined). New synonymy. Ostracocoelia palpalis: Foote 1980: 39 View in CoL .

Ceratitoedaspis palpalis Aczél View in CoL is here considered a new junior synonym of O. mirabilis Giglio-Tos. Among View in CoL the examined specimens there is variation in the size of the nonmicrotrichose shiny area on the anepisternum (generally smaller in Mexican specimens), the color of the anepisternal setulae (paler in some Mexican specimens), the size of the subapical marginal hyaline spot in cell r 2+3, and the subapical hyaline markings of cell

r 4+5 (usually absent or minute; longer and isolated in the two Chiapas specimens; connected to marginal spot in cell r 2+ 3 in one female from Zurquí, Costa Rica, which also has a tiny apical marginal spot in r 4+5), but all of these characters intergrade and all of the specimens examined appear to be conspecific.

Biology. One male was reared from an elongate, tapered stem gall on Ageratina mairetiana (DC.) R.M. King & H. Rob. ( Asteraceae : Eupatorieae ) at Angangueo, Michoacán, Mexico and a similar gall from which an adult had already eclosed was found near Huitzilac, Morelos. Noel Krauss also reared two adults of this species from stem galls on an undetermined plant in Morelos.
