  • Neolasioptera willistoni

    Neolasioptera willistoni is a species of gall midge (family Cecidomyiidae) described by Cockerell in 1898. Originally described as Lasioptera willistoni, it was later transferred to the genus Neolasioptera. As a gall midge, this species is presumed to induce gall formation on plant tissue during its larval development, though specific host plants and gall morphology remain undocumented in available sources. The species has been recorded in observation databases but detailed biological studies are limited.
