ResumoThe first checklist of gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in the state of Minas Gerais (MG) is presented based on literature review. Data on phytogeographic domains were added and the composition of the Cerrado fauna is compared to that of the Atlantic Forest. Gall midges on endemic and/or useful host plant species are pointed out. Botanical names were updated and a map of MG showing the recorded localities is presented. Forty-three gall midge species occur in the state, 42 are gall-inducers and one is a successor in galls. Cecidomyiids are associated with 35 plant species of 17 families. Among the hosts, 19 are useful and five are endemic. Asteraceae and Callophyllaceae harbor the highest number of gall midge species. Lopesia and Asphondylia are the best represented genera of Cecidomyiidae. Cerrado hosts 32 and Atlantic Forest 18 cecidomyiid species. Sorensen`s index indicates a similarity of 0.36 between these domains. The gall midge fauna of MG is compared to that of Rio de Janeiro (RJ) and Espírito Santo (ES) states, showing a similarity index of 0.30 with RJ and 0.21 with ES. As these states share other host plant species, the similarity between them can greater than those indicated here.
