Caryomyia albipilosa
Hickory White-haired Gall Midge
Caryomyia albipilosa is a gall midge species described by Gagné in 2008. It belongs to the genus Caryomyia, a group of cecidomyiids associated with hickory trees (Carya spp.). The species is known from limited observations, with 75 records on iNaturalist as of the source data. Like other members of its genus, it likely induces gall formation on hickory foliage or stems, though specific gall morphology has not been widely documented.
Caryomyia conoidea
Caryomyia conoidea is a species of gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae, described by Gagné in 2008. The genus Caryomyia comprises gall midges that induce galls on hickory trees (Carya spp.). As a member of this genus, C. conoidea is presumed to be associated with hickory hosts, though specific details about its biology remain limited in published literature. The species is documented in the iNaturalist database with 140 observations, indicating it is encountered with some frequency by naturalists.
Caryomyia eumaris
Caryomyia eumaris is a gall midge species in the family Cecidomyiidae, described by Gagné in 2008. It belongs to a genus specialized in inducing galls on hickory and pecan trees (Carya species). Like other members of Caryomyia, this species is associated with nut-bearing Carya hosts. The species is documented in the southeastern United States based on iNaturalist observations.
Caryomyia hirtiglobus
Hickory Woody Globe Gall Midge
Caryomyia hirtiglobus is a gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae, described by Gagné in 2008. The species induces woody, spherical galls on hickory trees (Carya spp.). It is one of several Caryomyia species associated with hickory, with its specific epithet 'hirtiglobus' referring to the hairy, globe-shaped galls it produces. The species has been documented in eastern North America where its host hickories occur.
Caryomyia purpurea
Hickory Purple Gumdrop Gall Midge
Caryomyia purpurea is a species of gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae, described by Raymond Gagné in 2008. The species is known by the common name "Hickory Purple Gumdrop Gall Midge," indicating its association with hickory plants and the distinctive gall structures it induces. As a member of the genus Caryomyia, this species belongs to a group of gall midges specialized on Carya (hickory) species.
Caryomyia recurvata
Caryomyia recurvata is a species of gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae, described by Gagné in 2008. The genus Caryomyia comprises gall-forming midges that induce galls on hickory trees (Carya spp.). As with other members of this genus, C. recurvata is associated with inducing distinct galls on host plants. The species is part of a taxonomic group specialized on Juglandaceae hosts.
Caryomyia sanguinolenta
Hickory Smooth Gumdrop Gall Midge
Caryomyia sanguinolenta is a gall midge species in the family Cecidomyiidae, commonly known as the hickory smooth gumdrop gall midge. The species induces distinctive galls on hickory trees. It was first described by Osten Sacken in 1862.
Caryomyia supina
Hickory Supine Squash Gall Midge
A gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae that induces distinctive galls on hickory leaves. The species is associated with Carya species, particularly shagbark hickory (Carya ovata). Adults are small, delicate flies typical of the family. The specific epithet 'supina' refers to the supine (upward-facing) orientation of the gall structure.
Caryomyia turbanella
Caryomyia turbanella is a species of gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae, described by Gagné in 2008. It belongs to a genus whose members are known for inducing galls on hickory and pecan trees (Carya spp.). The species name 'turbanella' refers to the distinctive turban-shaped galls it produces on host leaves.
Caryomyia viscidolium
Hickory Sticky Ginger Jar Gall Midge
Caryomyia viscidolium is a gall midge species described by Gagné in 2008, known for inducing distinctive galls on hickory trees (Carya spp.). The common name "Hickory Sticky Ginger Jar Gall Midge" refers to the characteristic gall morphology—small, urn or ginger jar-shaped structures with a sticky surface. As a member of the Cecidomyiidae family, this species exemplifies the highly specialized plant-insect relationships typical of gall midges. The species has been documented through 341 iNaturalist observations, indicating moderate but growing awareness among naturalists.
