TYPE MATERIAL HOLOTYPE 1 male Brazil : Espírito Santo , city of Ubu , 20.786°S , 40.579°W , Ubu ; from culture in USA: FL, Fort Pierce ( MZSP , dry mounted). PARATYPEs 16 males , 7 females , 32 immatures same data as holotype ( FSCA , MZSP , NHMB , dry and slide mounted, 70% ethanol) . COMMENTS Adults and immatures of C. lutea are morphologically similar to those of C. latiforceps but they differ in the adult stage primarily in details of male terminalia. Differences also occur in antennal shape, number of marginal diamond-shaped setae on the caudal plate, and color of the fifh instar. Surface spinules of the forewing are slightly more reduced in C. lutea where the spinule-free stripes along the veins are slightly broader and the spinule-free areas at the base of cells r 1 , r 2 , and m 2 are larger ( Fig. 12 ) than those of C. latiforceps ( Fig. 14 ). The male proctiger in C. lutea is slender with fore and hind margins, in lateral view, curved ( Fig. 18 ); in dorsal view,it is broad and short,with broadly rounded fore margin ( Fig.20 ). In C. latiforceps , the male proctiger is much broader in lateral view, with a relatively straight fore margin and a strongly curved hind margin ( Fig. 19 ); in dorsal view, it is narrow and elongate, with narrowly rounded fore margin ( Fig. 21 ). The male subgenital plate in C. lutea ( Fig. 18 ) has, in lateral view, an angular dorsal margin which is curved in C. latiforceps ( Fig. 19 ). The paramere in C. lutea ( Fig. 22 ), in lateral view, is less curved antero-apically with the anterior process directed in oblique dorsal direction rather than strongly curved antero-apically with backwards directed anterior process as in C. latiforceps ( Fig. 23 ). The distal portion of the aedeagus of C. lutea gradually widens in the middle and the sclerotized end tube of the ductus ejaculatorius is stronger sinuate ( Fig. 24 ); that of C. latiforceps widens more abruptly in the middle and the sclerotized end tube of the ductus ejaculatorius is less sinuate ( Fig. 25 ). The immatures differ most markedly in the presence of the dark color pattern in C. lutea ( Fig. 26 ), which is lacking in C. latiforceps ( Fig.27 ). The antenna in the former is distinctly angular along the outer margin ( Fig. 28 ) but more sinuous in the latter ( Fig. 29 ). The number of marginal diamond-shaped setae on the caudal plate (1 side only) ranges from 29 to 36 (32.22 ± 2.94) in C. lutea and in C. latiforceps from 40 to 44 (41.75 ± 1.71). Calophya lutea easily can be separated from C.praestigiator and C.terebinthifolii (that also develop on Brazilian peppertree) by the completely yellow body color of the adult, rather than strongly contrasted pitch black head and thorax, and the green or yellow abdomen as in the last 2 species ( Fig. 7 ). In the fifh instar, it differs in the dark pattern by forming 1 broad longitudinal band rather than 2 narrow dark longitudinal bands separated by a light band in C. terebinthifolii , or lacking a dark pattern as in C. praestigiator . Calophya lutea differs from the other pit gall inducing Calophya species associated with Schinus as indicated in the key below. Diaz et al. (2015a) sequenced the COI gene of 4 Brazilian Calophya populations on S. terebinthifolia from Bahia (Carapina and Salvador ), Espírito Santo (Ubu), and Camboriú (Santa Catarina). These authors found that the sequence divergences between the population from Camboriú (= C. terebinthifolii ) and the other 3 populations was 13 to 14%. The population from Ubu diverged from those from Carapina and Salvador (= C. latiforceps ) by> 6%.They concluded that the population from Ubu (herein described as C. lutea ) constitutes a species different from C. latiforceps .
