Monardia is a genus of wood midges, insects in the family Cecidomyiidae. The 53 described species in Monardia are grouped into three subgenera. [1]
These 53 species belong to the genus Monardia:
The Cecidomyiinae, commonly known as gall midges or gall gnats, is the largest subfamily in Cecidomyiidae with over 600 genera and more than 5000 described species. This subfamily is best known for its members that induce galls on plants, but there are also many species that are fungivores, parasitoids, or predators as maggots.
Polystepha is a genus of gall midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. There are more than 20 described species in Polystepha.
Catotricha is a genus of midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. The five described species in Catotricha are found in the holarctic region. This genus was established by British entomologist Frederick Wallace Edwards in 1938.
Resseliella is a genus of gall midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. There are at least 50 described species in Resseliella.
Micromyinae is a subfamily of wood midges, insects in the family Cecidomyiidae. Its members were formerly included in subfamily Lestremiinae. There are at least 55 genera and more than 650 described species in Micromyinae. All species in this subfamily are mycophageous.
Haplusia is a genus of gall midges and wood midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. There are more than 20 described species in Haplusia.
Winnertziinae is a subfamily of gall midges and wood midges in the family Cecidomyiidae.
Sackenomyia is a genus of gall midges, insects in the family Cecidomyiidae. There are about five described species in Sackenomyia.
Heteropeza is a genus of gall midges and wood midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. There are about six described species in Heteropeza.
Dicrodiplosis is a genus of gall midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. There are about 15 described species in Dicrodiplosis.
Winnertzia is a genus of gall midges and wood midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. There are more than 90 described species in Winnertzia.
Porricondylinae is a subfamily of gall midges and wood midges in the family Cecidomyiidae.
Anarete is a genus of midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. There are 38 described species. The genus was established by Irish entomologist Alexander Henry Haliday in 1833 and has a cosmopolitan distribution.
Antennardia is a genus of midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. The four described species are found in the Holarctic realm. The genus was first described by Boris Mamaev in 1993, but was subsequently treated as a subgenus of Monardia until being reinstated at the genus level.
Campylomyza is a genus of midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. The 40 described species are found in the Holarctic, Oriental, Neotropical, and Australasian regions. The genus was first described by German entomologist Johann Wilhelm Meigen in 1818.
Heterogenella is a genus of wood midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. The twelve described species are found in the Holarctic and Oriental realms. The genus was established by Boris Mamaev in 1963.
Neurolyga is a genus of wood midges, insects in the family Cecidomyiidae. The 28 described species occur in the holarctic region. The genus was established by Italian entomologist Camillo Rondani in 1840.
