Chirosia grossicauda is a species of fly found in Europe. The larvae mine the lower rachis of bracken causing a swelling, known as a gall.
A white maggot mines the central vein of the pinnule (a secondary division of a frond of bracken) causing the tip to roll downwards. The larva probably pupate in the gall, but are likely to fall out when the fronds wither and fall to the ground, pupating in the leaf litter. [1] [2]
Larva of Trybliographa ciliaris are endoparasitoid of the larvae of Chirosia grossicauda. [3]
In Europe the fly is found from Ireland to Russia and from the Iberian Peninsula to Scandinavia. [4] It has also been recorded in South Africa. [5]
Cydia millenniana, the larch gall moth, is a moth of the family Tortricidae which galls larch. It is found from Europe to Russia and the Korean Peninsula.
Ectoedemia hannoverella is a moth of the family Nepticulidae found in Asia and Europe. The larva mines the leaves of poplars causing a small gall in the petiole.
Monochroa cytisella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae and found in most of Europe. The larva feed in the stems of bracken causing a slight gall.
Chirosia betuleti is a species of fly, which causes knotting gall in ferns. The gall develops in the terminal shoots of ferns, such as broad buckler fern, male fern, lady fern, and ostrich fern.
