What is New genus and two new species of gall midge (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) damaging buds on Eucalyptus in Australia about?

## Abstract Two new gall midges whose larvae damage leaf and branch buds of eucalypts in Australia are described and a new genus, __Eucalyptodiplosis__ Kolesik (Cecidomyiidi: Cecidomyiini) is erected to contain them. The infested buds are deformed and do not develop further. __Eucalyptodiplosis germinis__ Kolesik was found on __Eucalyptus cosmophylla__ F. Muell. and __Eucalyptus camaldulensis__ Dehnh. in natural bush vegetation in South Australia. __Eucalyptodiplosis mcintyrei__ Kolesik is a potential pest of __Eucalyptus grandis__ Hill ex Maiden in plantation forests in New South Wales with the potential to cause economically significant damage in young tree plantations. The basic biology of the midges is described and a key to adults of currently known Australian genera of the supertribe Cecidomyiidi is presented.
