Guides
Dasineura lupinorum
Dasineura lupinorum is a gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae, described by Gagné in 1993. The specific epithet 'lupinorum' suggests an association with Lupinus (lupine) host plants, though specific gall morphology and biology have not been documented in the provided sources. As a member of the genus Dasineura, it is presumed to induce gall formation on plant tissue, with larvae developing within these structures.
Dasineura pilosa
Dasineura pilosa is a species of gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae, described by Plakidas in 2016. As a member of the genus Dasineura, it is presumed to induce galls on host plants, though specific host associations and gall morphology for this species have not been documented in the provided sources. The genus is well-known for forming various types of plant galls on leaves, stems, or flowers.
Dasineura pudibunda
Hornbeam leaf gall midge
Dasineura pudibunda is a species of gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae, known commonly as the hornbeam leaf gall midge. As with other members of its genus, this species induces gall formation on host plants. The specific host plant associations and gall morphology for this species remain poorly documented in available sources.
Dasineura serrulatae
Dasineura serrulatae is a species of gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae, a group of small flies known for inducing plant galls. The species was described by Osten Sacken in 1862. Like other Dasineura species, it likely forms galls on specific host plants, though detailed host associations and biological data remain limited in the provided sources.
Dasineura similis
Dasineura similis is a gall midge species in the family Cecidomyiidae, first described by Löw in 1888. Like other members of its genus, this species induces galls on host plants during its larval development. The species is known from northwestern Europe including Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Very little specific biological information has been published for this particular species.
