Abstract
Most gall-inducing cecidomyiids are associated closely with particular plant taxa. Many examples of species radiation on a single or a few plant genera are known for mono- or oligophagous cecidomyiid genera. In the light of these examples, we consider that gall midges have diversified on a particular plant taxon under various sympatric conditions in addition to allopatric speciation. In this chapter, we show some of possible mechanisms leading to non-allopatric speciation. First, we demonstrate two case studies of mistaken oviposition. Then we refer to plant polyploidy, gall shape polymorphism including a geographic mosaic of coevolution, host range expansion, sexual isolation, ecological divergence, and host race formation. We also review two examples of allopatric speciation.
