Abstract: A new species of cecidomyiid, Clinodiplosis capsici Gagné, is reported from cultivated sweet and hot pepper in Costa Rica, Guadeloupe, and French Guiana where it appears to have potential as a serious pest. Adults, pupae, and larvae are described, illustrated, and compared to other Clinodiplosis species.
