Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) consists of six subfamilies, which are divided into three groups according to larval ecological habits (phytophagous, mycophagous, and zoophagous). The five basal subfamilies of Cecidomyiidae consist entirely of mycophagous species, with approximately 1500 species described worldwide and 29 previously known to occur in Korea. In this study, 37 named species (1 Lestremiinae, 29 Micromyinae, 4 Winnertziinae, and 3 Porricondylinae species) are newly reported from South Korea. We excluded Lestremia yasukunii Shinji from the list of Korean mycophagous cecidomyiids as it is a nomen nudum. Therefore, we herein officially recognize 65 species, 30 genera, and four subfamilies for the Korean mycophagous cecidomyiid fauna. We also provide diagnoses and photographs to aid species identification and discussion on the four years of gall midge taxonomic inventory in South Korea.

Mycophagous gall midges in the family Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) are poorly known in Korea, with only 14 recorded species. From our sampling throughout South Korea during 2015-2017, we present evidence of the Korean distribution of another 20 species as follows-Lestremiinae: Anarete angusta Mo & Xu, 2009; Micromyinae: Anodontoceras saigusai Yukawa, 1967, Campylomyza appendiculata Jaschhof, 2015, Campylomyza furva Edwards, 1938, Peromyia gotohi Jaschhof, 2001, Peromyia pumila Jaschhof, 2001, and Tekomyia populi Möhn, 1960; Winnertziinae: Leptosyna nervosa (Winnertz), 1852, Winnertzia nigripennis (Kieffer), 1894, and Winnertzia solidaginis Felt, 1907; Porricondylinae: Bryocrypta indubitata Mamaev, 1964, Camptomyia flavocinerea Panelius, 1965, Coccopsilis obscura (Mamaev), 1964, Coccopsilis paneliusi (Yukawa), 1971, Cryptoneurus muscicola (Kieffer), 1896, Dirhiza abludentis(Mamaev), 1998, Divellepidosis separata (Yukawa), 1971, Larimyia lavalis Fedotova & Sidorenko, 2007, Parvovirga latostylata Jaschhof, 2013, and Porricondyla nigripennis(Meigen), 1830.

This study was carried out to investigate the seasonal and regional occurrence and development of major pest flies on the oyster mushroom. The survey was performed in the oyster mushroom houses located at 16 places, selected randomly throughout South Korea from July to August and from October to November in 1997. The six species of flies were found including three pest species from Sciaridae, Cecidomyiidae and Scatopsidae flies. The pattern of occurrence was somewhat dissimilar depending on the survey periods and regions. Among these, the most serious and abundant pest, Lycoriella mali (Diptera: Sciaridae), occurred year around at the regions surveyed. In this study, Coboldia fuscipes (Diptera: Scatopsidae) was confinned as a mushroom pest. Its larvae damaged the mycelium, and occurred usually in summer from July to August. The paedogenetic Mycophila sp. (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) was found abundantly on the oyster mushroom bed, and caused a severe damage in fall from October to November.

Obolodiplosis robiniae (Haldeman, 1987) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), a pest species on a black locust tree, which was originally distributed in North America, is newly recorded from Korea. The specimens were collected from the central Korea. Morphological diagnoses of the both sexes and the symptoms on the host plants are provided.

ecently, dandelion leaf-gall midge of the genus Cystiphora, forming reddish-purple round bumps on dandelion (Taraxacum spp.) have been reported for the first time in Gyeonggi-do, Korea. Therefore, we report the observed area, damage pattern, and morphological characteristics of developmental stages.

The blossom midge, Contarinia maculipennis Felt (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) originated in Southeast Asia and is present in Japan, the continental USA, and Hawaii. Recently, C. maculipennis was intercepted in Japan, USA and the Netherlands by using orchid flowers imported from Southeast Asian countries. This pest is designated as a quarantine pest in Korea because of its potential damages to vegetables and ornamental plants. In Korea, similar symptoms of damage, which mighty be caused by C. maculipennis, have been investigated in western orchids, especially on Dendrobium phalaenopsis, from Mid-2000s. Official recognition was given to C. maculipennis in 2007, followed by an investigation on the occurrences of C. maculipennis and its damages, mainly on D. phalaenopsis, in 2008~2009. We emphasize caution concerning the possibilities that C. maculipennis could infest flower buds of orchids and carry out management strategies for this pest in the future.
