Resumen:
A new species of cecidomyiid, Clinodiplosis alternantherae Gagné, is reported from alligator weed, Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Griseb. (Amaranthaceae) in Argentina. The gall midge forms galls on branch tips and is a likely candidate to aid in the control of the invasive, allien alligatorweed in North America and Australia. The male, female, pupa and larva are described, illustrated, and compared to other Clinodiplosis species.
