Different gall inducers belonging to distinct insect orders are rarely known to induce similarly shaped galls on the same host plant organs. We report thatAsphondylia tojoiElsayed & Tokuda sp. nov. (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) andCeratoneurasp. (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) induce galls on leaf buds ofSchoepfia jasminodoraSieb. et Zucc. (Schoepfiaceae). We describe the gall midge species as new to science and report a phylogenetic analysis for known JapaneseAsphondyliaspecies. We also describe life histories of the two species, based on monthly surveys during 2015–2017: although both species are multivoltine,A. tojoioverwinters as first instars in galls, whereasCeratoneurasp. possibly does so as adults outside the galls. In addition, the internal structure of galls differed between the two species. Galls containingA. tojoiconsist of a single chamber with inner walls clearly covered with whitish fungal mycelia after the gall midges develop into second instars. Those containing theCeratoneurasp. have multiple chambers with hard black inner walls. Although some eulophids are known to be inquilines of galls induced byAsphondyliaspecies, we consider that theCeratoneurasp. is probably a true gall inducer because of the different gall structure and absence of fungal mycelia in their galls. This is the first report detailing the annual life history of aCeratoneuraspecies.Asphondylia tojoirepresents the first example of monophagousAsphondyliaspecies with a multivoltine life history on a deciduous tree.
