Rabdophaga dubiosa is a gall midge which forms galls on the young shoots of willow (Salix species).
The gall is a pear-shaped swelling about 15 to 20 millimetres (0.59 to 0.79 in) long on a young shoot. The swelling is broader than that of the gall of R. karschi and contains individual larva in separate chambers that run together. The similar looking gall of R. pierreana only has one large chamber containing red larvae, while the larvae of dubiosa are yellow or light orange. Pupation takes place in the gall and the pupa does not have a tooth near the base of the antenna. [2] [3] In Britain, the gall has been recorded on eared willow (S. aurita) and creeping willow (S. repens). [2] Elsewhere the gall has been found on S. alba, S. caprea, S. cinerea, S. foetida, S. helvetica and S. purpurea. [3]
Found in the Czech Republic, Finland, Great Britain and Romania [2] [4] [5] [6]

Euura amerinae is a species of sawfly belonging to the family Tenthredinidae. The larvae form galls on bay willow. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758.
Euura atra is a species of sawfly belonging to the family Tenthredinidae. The larvae feed internally on the shoots of willows and do not usually form galls, although it is included in plant gall literature such as British Plant Galls. It was first described by Louis Jurine in 1807. E. atra is one of a number of closely related species known as the Euura atra subgroup.
Euura auritae is a species of sawfly belonging to the family Tenthredinidae. The larvae forms galls on willows. It was first described by Jens-Peter Kopelke in 2000. E. auritae is one of a number of closely related species which is known as the Euura atra subgroup.
Rabdophaga purpureaperda is a gall midge. The larvae tunnel in the shoots of purple willow and may cause the shoots to swell slightly. It was first described by Horace Francis Barnes in 1935.
Rabdophaga justini is a gall midge. It was first described by Horace Francis Barnes in 1935. The larvae tunnel in the shoots of purple willow.

Rabdophaga nervorum is a gall midge which forms galls on the leaves of sallows. It is found in Europe and was first described by the French entomologist, Jean-Jacques Kieffer in 1895.
Rabdophaga rigidae, the willow beaked-gall midge, is a species of gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae. It is found across North America. Some sources state that it is also present in parts of eastern Asia including Japan; however, a 2006 study shows that the Asian populations likely represent a separate species: Rabdophaga salicivora.
