Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The collection of gall-forming Cecidomyiidae specimens and their parasitoids from Australia and South Africa during this project produced a large and valuable assemblage of material, most of which will be or has been lodged with the National Insect Collection (Pretoria) (parasitoids) or the South Australian Museum Adelaide (cecidomyiids).
