Abstract
We surveyed the species richness of galling arthropods in Iguassu and Manaus in 2000 and found at least 109 sorts of arthropod gall. The species richness of gallers that were sampled in Arizona and cerrado vegetation in Brazil has been supporting the microenvironment hypothesis, in which the galling habit is considered to be adaptive to dry areas. However, our data in Iguassu and Amazon, as well as the previous data in Indonesia and Japan, revealed that the galling species richness was considerably high in humid environments. Host plant species richness was considered to be an alternative explanation for the high galling species richness in humid areas.
