Description of the gall

The gall is an ovoid, bean-shaped gall, up to 8 mm x 4 mm in size, with a hard thick red wall when occupied. There are often two galls to a leaf, on either side of the midrib, and they are almost equally prominent on the both sides of a leaf. Galls of E. triandrae are found on almond willow (S. triandra). There are usually two broods in a year (i.e. bivoltine. [1]

<i>Euura</i> Genus of sawflies

Euura is a genus of sawflies of the family Tenthredinidae, subfamily Nematinae. Some of the larvae feed externally on plants and some form plant galls on willows (Salix species). In the case of the gall-forming species, when the female lays her eggs she injects a stimulant and the gall starts to form before the eggs hatch. Most sawfly galls are hard and individual larva tend to inhabit the gall, feeding on the tissue and leave the gall to pupate in the soil. Most of the species are monophages although the type species, Euura mucronata, is polyphagous feeding on over thirty species of willow.
