Neolasioptera (possible new species on Galium)
This undescribed species of gall midge in the genus Neolasioptera is associated with plants in the genus Galium (bedstraws). As a member of the tribe Lasiopterini, it likely induces galls or feeds within plant tissues. The provisional designation indicates it has been recognized as morphologically or biologically distinct from described species but awaits formal taxonomic description. Its specific host relationships and geographic distribution remain undocumented in published literature.
Neolasioptera impatientifolia
Neolasioptera impatientifolia is a gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae, first described by Felt in 1907. The species forms galls on jewelweed (Impatiens species), with the specific epithet reflecting this host association. It is one of numerous Neolasioptera species specialized on particular host plants. The species has been documented in the northeastern United States.
Neolasioptera imprimata
Neolasioptera imprimata is a gall midge species in the family Cecidomyiidae. The species has been documented in association with specific host plants, forming characteristic gall structures. As with other members of the genus Neolasioptera, it is presumed to be a specialist on particular plant species, though detailed ecological studies remain limited. The species was described based on morphological characteristics of adult specimens.
Neolasioptera verbesinae
Neolasioptera verbesinae is a species of gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae. The species name refers to the genus Verbesina, suggesting an association with plants in this genus. Like other members of Neolasioptera, this species likely induces galls on its host plants. The species was described by Möhn in 1964.
Neolasioptera vernoniae
Neolasioptera vernoniae is a gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae. As a member of the genus Neolasioptera, it induces galls on host plants. The species was originally described by Beutenmüller in 1907 under the basionym Cecidomyia vernoniae.
