  • Neolasioptera lycopi

    Neolasioptera lycopi is a species of gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae, first described by Felt in 1907. The specific epithet "lycopi" indicates an association with plants in the genus Lycopus (water horehound). As with other members of its genus, this species likely induces gall formation on its host plant, though specific gall morphology remains undocumented in available sources. The species has been recorded in the northeastern United States.
