(®gures 10, 22) ? Calophya sp. , Costa Lima, 1942: 97, ®gures 114, 115. Brazil : pit galls on the leaves of Schinus terebinthifolius (depository?). Description . Adult. Coloration. Head and thorax dark brown to almost black, shiny. Genal processes, and antennae whitish, except for the two apical antennal segments which are dark brown to black. Legs brown with yellowish tibiae and tarsi. Forewings transparent or weakly yellowish; veins yellowish, vein C +Sc dark brown. Abdomen including genitalia greenish to yellowish, strongly contrasting with head and thorax. Structure . Anterior portion of vertex covered in very short, inconspicuous setae; genal processes long, slender, contiguous in the middle. Forewings (®gure 10A) oblong±oval, broadly rounded apically; surface spinules present in all cells, leaving broad, spinule-free stripes along the veins. Genitalia as in ®gure 10B±F. Male subgenital plate short; proctiger relatively slender; paramere lamellar, short; distal portion of aedeagus short with apical dilatation about half as long as segment. Female proctiger short, clavate in pro®le; subgenital plate subacute apically. Measurements in mm (1, l 1 m ).

Fifth instar larva (®gure 22). Anterior margin of head forming two large lobes. Antennae irregularly triangular, with sectasetae. Legs with very small claws. Anterior margin of humeral lobes ending distal to anterior eye margin. Abdominal dorsum without median row of horns. Caudal plate ratio 0.46. Circumanal ring oval. Head, wing bud and abdominal margins with sectasetae. Host plant, gall and biology . Schinus terebinthifolius . Inducing pit galls on the leaves. The galls and larvae described and illustrated by Costa Lima (1942) probably concern C. terebinthifolii . Among the material at hand are larvae of Syrphidae and Neuroptera which are likely predators of the calophyid larvae. The latter are also parasitized by Hymenoptera . D istribution .
