RESUMO

The objective of this work was to compare the frequency of galls occurring in Miconia prasina (Melastomataceae) in four remnants of Atlantic forest of northeastern Brazil. Insect galls were observed in M. prasina of the elliptic type, spherical and fusiform in the four studied fragments: a cylindrical in the RefÃgio Charles Darwin and a piriform type in the axillary bud in the Cachoeira and CapoeirÃo fragments. The galls of M. prasina in the general were found the whole year in the four areas of study independent of the maturation stage. In the selected individuals were count 1131 news galls along a year in fragments studied. Of this, 548 were elliptic, 336 spherical, 125 fusiform, 81 cylindrical and 41 piriform
