  • Caryomyia tuberculata

    Caryomyia tuberculata is a species of gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae, described by Gagné in 2008. As a member of the genus Caryomyia, it belongs to a group of cecidomyiids associated with hickory and pecan trees (Carya species). The specific epithet "tuberculata" suggests tuberculate or wart-like features, though detailed morphological descriptions remain limited in available literature. Like other gall midges, this species likely induces gall formation on host plant tissues as part of its life cycle.
