Cembrotia
Cembrotia is a genus of gall midges in the family Cecidomyiidae, described by Gagné in 2013. Members of this genus are small, delicate flies whose larvae induce gall formation on host plants. The genus is relatively recently described and contains species associated with conifers, particularly cedars (Cedrus spp.).
Dichelia
Dichelia is a genus of tortrix moths in the tribe Archipini, established by Guenée in 1845. The genus includes at least five described species distributed across Europe, North Africa, and the Mediterranean region. One species, D. cedricola, has been documented as a significant pest of Lebanese cedar (Cedrus libani), causing needle drop and bud damage through larval feeding. Larvae construct silk-bound needle nests and overwinter in protective silk coverings on host trees.
