Catotrichinae is a subfamily of Cecidomyiidae. Members of this subfamily were formerly included in Lestremiinae and are considered the most primitive members Cecidomyiidae. [1] The larvae feed on fungi. [2] Five genera are currently recognized. [3]
Rhopalomyia is a genus of gall midges, insects in the family Cecidomyiidae. There are at least 267 described species in Rhopalomyia. Most species in this genus induce galls on plants in the Asteraceae. This genus has a cosmopolitan distribution. Rhopalomyia was first established by Ewald Heinrich Rübsaamen in 1892.
Asphondylia betheli is a species of gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae. This midge is widespread in the southwestern United States. The larvae of this species induce galls on in the fruit of Opuntia cacti.
Parallelodiplosis subtruncata is a species of gall midges, insects in the family Cecidomyiidae.
Catotricha americana is a species of basal gall midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. It is the type species of the genus and has only been confirmed to occur in New Hampshire. This species was first described by American entomologist Ephraim Porter Felt in 1908.
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.
Ampelomyia vitiscoryloides is a species of gall midges in the family Cecidomyiidae.
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.
Amedia is a genus of wood midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. The only described species - Amedia floridana - is only known from Florida. The genus was established by Mathias Jaschhof in 1997.
Winnertziinae is a subfamily of gall midges and wood midges in the family Cecidomyiidae.
Dicrodiplosis californica, the mealybug-destroying predaceous gall midge, is a species of gall midges in the family Cecidomyiidae.
Stephomyia eugeniae is a species of gall midges in the family Cecidomyiidae.
Mycophila speyeri is a species of wood midge in the family Cecidomyiidae first described by Horace Francis Barnes in 1926.
Trichoceromyia is a genus of midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. There is one described species in this genus: Trichoceromyia oregonensis. It is only known from Oregon.
Trichotoca is a genus of midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. There are two described species in this genus, both known only from Australia.
Wheeleriola is a genus of midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. The one described species in this genus - Wheeleriola perplexa - is known only from New Zeland.
Lestremiinae is a subfamily of Cecidomyiidae. It is composed of 105 described species classified into 13 genera. The larvae feed on fungi, primarily in rotting wood.
Eomastix is a genus of midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. Eomastix incerta is the only described species in this genus and is known from Norway and Sweden. The genus was established by Mathias Jaschhof in 2009.
Insulestremia is a genus of midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. There is only one described species in this genus, Insulestremia sinclairi, which is known only from the Galapagos Islands. It was established by Mathias Jaschhof in 2004.
Mesotrichoca is a genus of midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. The one described species in the genus - Mesotrichoca mesozoica - is known only from Siberia from a sediment fossil associated with the Late Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous epochs. This species was placed in Catotricha when it was first described by Russian entomologist Vladimir Grigoryevich Kovalev. This genus was established by Mathias Jaschhof and Catrin Jaschhof in 2008.
Anocha is a genus of midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. The eight described species are known from the holarctic region. The genus was first described by Arthur Earl Pritchard in 1948.
