Rhopalomyia

Guides

  • Rhopalomyia glutinosa

    A gall midge species in the family Cecidomyiidae described by Felt in 1916. As a member of the genus Rhopalomyia, it likely induces galls on host plants, though specific details about its biology remain poorly documented in available sources.

  • Rhopalomyia obovata

    Rhopalomyia obovata is a gall midge species in the family Cecidomyiidae, described by Gagné in 1983. The genus Rhopalomyia is one of the most diverse genera of gall midges, with many species inducing characteristic galls on various host plants. As with other members of this genus, R. obovata likely forms galls on specific host plant tissues, though detailed natural history information for this particular species appears limited in the available literature. The species is recognized as valid by GBIF and Catalogue of Life, with 266 observations recorded on iNaturalist.

  • Rhopalomyia sulcata

    Rhopalomyia sulcata is a gall midge species in the family Cecidomyiidae, described by Raymond Gagné in 1995. As a member of the genus Rhopalomyia, this species is associated with inducing galls on host plants, though specific host associations for R. sulcata remain poorly documented. The genus is taxonomically diverse with many species specialized on particular plant genera, especially in the Asteraceae.
