This study aimed at survey insect galls of an Amazon rainforest area in Rondônia, Brazil. We found 152 gall morphotypes in 103 plant species. Fabaceae were the host with the greatest gall richness. Leaves were the most galled organ. Globose and glabrous galls were the most frequent. Cecidomyiidae were responsible for most of the galls. This is the first record of 110 galls morphotypes and 23 host plants species in this biome. Ten gallers are endemic in Brazil. Five genera of Cecidomyiidae were first recorded in Rondônia as well as Schismatodiplosis lantanae Rübsaamen, 1908.
本研究旨在调查巴西朗多尼亚州亚马逊雨林地区的昆虫瘿。我们在 103 种植物中发现了 152 种瘿形态。豆科植物是具有最多瘿丰富度的宿主。叶片是最常发生瘿的器官。球形和无毛的瘿是最常见的。瘿蚊科负责了大多数的瘿。这是该生物群落中首次记录到 110 种瘿形态和 23 种宿主植物。10 种瘿蚊是巴西特有的。还有 5 种瘿蚊科属也是首次在朗多尼亚州记录到，以及兰塔纳叶瘿蚊 Schismatodiplosis lantanae Rübsaamen, 1908。
