Dasineura fraxini is a gall midge which forms galls on the leaves and petioles of ash ( Fraxinus species). It was first described by Johann Jacob Bremi-Wolf in 1847.
Most of the gall is on the underside of the main vein, where it forms a narrow green pouch. There can be several on a leaf, ranging in size from 5 mm to 30 mm, although they can coalesce. Each contains an orange larva. There is a slit-like opening on the upperside of the leaf. The galls can be found from June to October and can also be found on the petiole and rachis. [1] [2] It is found on Fraxinus angustifolia & subsp., F. excelsior , F. ornus and F. oxycarpa . [3]
The larvae of Clinodiplosis botularia are reddish-yellow, grow faster and outcompete the gall maker, which perish. [4]
The insect is found in Europe. [5]
Ectoedemia turbidella is a moth of the family Nepticulidae and is found in most of Europe. The larva mine the leaves of poplar trees and was first described by the German entomologist Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1848.
Aceria fraxinivora, also known as the cauliflower gall mite and the ash key gall, causes the growths, known as galls, found on the hanging seeds or "keys" of the ash (Fraxinus) species.
Rabdophaga strobilina is a gall midge and inquiline of Rabdophaga rosaria and Rabdophaga terminalis; also gall midges. It was first described by Johann Jacob Bremi-Wolf in 1847.
Rabdophaga salicis is a gall midge which forms galls on sallows. It was first described by Franz von Paula Schrank in 1803.
Rabdophaga degeerii is a gall midge which forms galls on the shoots of willows.
Dasineura auritae is a gall midge which forms galls on the leaves of sallows and their hybrids. It was first described by Ewald Heinrich Rübsaamen in 1916.
Rabdophaga marginemtorquens is a gall midge which forms galls on willows and is found in Europe. It was described by Johann Jacob Bremi-Wolf in 1847.
Rabdophaga clausilia is a gall midge which, depending on the source, forms galls on the leaves of willows, or is an inquiline living in the galls of a Rabdophaga species, or a predator. It was first described by Johann Jacob Bremi-Wolf in 1847.
Euura venusta is a species of sawfly belonging to the family Tenthredinidae. The larvae feed within the leaf-stalk of willows forming a gall. The sawfly was first described by Carl Gustav Alexander Brischke in 1883.
Euura testaceipes is a species of sawfly belonging to the family Tenthredinidae. The larvae feed within the leaf-stalk (petiole), or midrib of a leaf, on willows forming a gall. The sawfly was first described by Carl Gustav Alexander Brischke in 1883. E. testaceipes is one of three closely related species known as the Euura amerinae species subgroup. The other members of the group are E. amerinae and E. venusta
Iteomyia capreae is a gall midge which forms galls on willows. It was first described by Johannes Winnertz in 1853.
Euura proxima is a species of sawfly belonging to the family Tenthredinidae. The larvae feed on the leaves of willows, creating galls and was described by Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville in 1823.
Euura bridgmanii is a species of sawfly belonging to the family Tenthredinidae. The larvae feed on the leaves of sallows. It was first described by the entomologist Peter Cameron in 1883.
Euura vesicator is a species of sawfly belonging to the family Tenthredinidae. The larvae feed internally in a gall on the leaves of purple willow and its hybrids. It was first described by Johann Jacob Bremi-Wolf in 1849.
Euura pedunculi is a species of sawfly belonging to the family Tenthredinidae. The larva feed within galls on the leaves of sallows. It was first described by Theodor Hartig in 1837.
Euura viminalis is a species of sawfly belonging to the family Tenthredinidae. The larva feed within galls on the leaves of willows. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.
Andricus curvator is a gall wasp which forms chemically induced leaf galls on oak trees and has both agamic and sexual generations. Agamic and sexual generations usually form two distinct galls on oak trees, but in the case of A. curvator there are six galls; the sexual generation usually on the leaf, occasionally in a twig or catkin, and the agamic generation in a bud. The wasp was first described by Theodor Hartig, a German biologist, in 1840 and is found in most of Europe.
Dasineura acrophila is a gall midge which forms galls on the leaves of ash. It was first described by Johannes Winnertz in 1853 and is found in Europe.
Dasineura plicatrix is a species of gall midge, an insect in the family Cecidomyiidae, found in Europe. It was described by the German entomologist Friedrich Hermann Loew in 1850. The larvae feed within the tissue of bramble leaves, creating an abnormal growth known as a plant gall.
Placochela nigripes is a gall midge which forms galls on the flower buds of elder, honeysuckle and privet. It was described by F Löw in 1877.
