03928796F176FFF3F5C6FDCAFB62FC6B.taxon	materials_examined	Type species, Procystiphora coloradensis Felt, 1915 (orig. des.). With the description of the new species, this Holarctic genus consists of five plant-feeding species including the new species. Three, including the new species, are distributed in the Palaearctic and two in the Nearctic. Sato et al. (2009) redescribed Procystiphora and gave a detailed generic diagnosis. In the present paper, some parts of the generic diagnosis are broadened as follows to contain all known Procystiphora species: female eighth tergite incised or concave deeply only posteriorly or both posteriorly and anteriorly; male hypoproct with lobes pointed apically or rounded apically; empodium longer than or as long as tarsal claw. The differences between Procystiphora and other allied genera may be found in Gagné (1975) and Skuhravá (1997).	en	Jiao, Kelong, Bu, Wenjun (2010): Notes on the genus Procystiphora Felt, 1915 (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) with description of one new species inducing galls in branchlets of a bamboo in China.

03928796F176FFF4F5C6F9EDFAD5FED1.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. Zeng et al. (2009) reported the biology of P. phyllostachys (as Procystiphora sp.) as follows: one generation occurs per year in Tianjin, China. First instars forage on newly sprouted branchlets in trail to form larval chambers. Later larvae sink into the branchlets by foraging plant tissue inside, with the outside of branchlets growing to form chambers with tear-shaped exits. Mature larvae begin to spin white cocoons within galls in mid May, start to pupate in early October and overwinter in the galls. Adults emerge from galls in early April through the tear-drop shaped exits. Females then lay eggs on the newly sprouted branchlets after mating. Three species of parasitoids have been found, namely Pediobius sp. (endoparasitoids), Eurytoma setigera Mayr and Eupelmus urozonus Dalman (ectoparasitoid). Detailed descriptions of the parasitoids are provided by Zeng et al. (2009).	en	Jiao, Kelong, Bu, Wenjun (2010): Notes on the genus Procystiphora Felt, 1915 (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) with description of one new species inducing galls in branchlets of a bamboo in China.

03928796F176FFF4F5C6F9EDFAD5FED1.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific name phyllostachys is the name of the host genus and is a noun in apposition.	en	Jiao, Kelong, Bu, Wenjun (2010): Notes on the genus Procystiphora Felt, 1915 (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) with description of one new species inducing galls in branchlets of a bamboo in China.

03928796F176FFF4F5C6F9EDFAD5FED1.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This new species is characterized by the uniqueness of female post-abdomen. It is the only known Procystiphora with the peculiarly shaped eighth tergite with its two apodematous extensions and the pointed apices of both the ninth segment and cerci. The Chinese species is also distinguishable from the four other congeners by having male gonocoxite and gonostylus slender, male antenna with 18 and female antenna with 18 – 20 flagellomeres. Procystiphora phyllostachys and P. uedai are the only species so far known to utilize bamboos as hosts. However, P. phyllostachys differs from P. uedai by having gonocoxite with apically rounded, long mediobasal lobe (not triangular lobes) and slender lobes of hypoproct (not stout ones). P. phyllostachys is also similar to P. g e r a rd i in the shape of inconspicuously swollen galls, while the other three congeners induce conspicuously swollen galls. Male hypoprocts of P. phyllostachys, P. uedai and P. g e r a rd i are with lobes rounded apically, while the other two have lobes pointed apically. In immature stages, P. phyllostachys is similar to P. uedai by having the larval terminal segment with 3 pairs of terminal papillae and 1 of 3 pairs of pupal lateral facial papillae setose. However, P. phyllostachys, as well as P. gerardi, is distinguishable from P. uedai by having pupal frons with 2 pairs of lower facial papillae (not 1 pair). In addition, P. phyllostachys is different from P. g e r a rdi that has 4 pairs of terminal papillae (Meyer 1984).	en	Jiao, Kelong, Bu, Wenjun (2010): Notes on the genus Procystiphora Felt, 1915 (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) with description of one new species inducing galls in branchlets of a bamboo in China.
