Subfamily of flies
Asphondylia solidaginis Rhopalomyia solidaginis Vitisiella larvaGalls of Dasineura pellex on leaf of ash tree (Fraxinus ) The Cecidomyiinae , commonly known as gall midges or gall gnats , is the largest subfamily in Cecidomyiidae with over 600 genera and more than 5000 described species.[1] This subfamily is best known for its members that induce galls on plants, but there are also many species that are fungivores , parasitoids , or predators as maggots .[1] [2] [3]
Cecidomyiinae is monophyletic and species of the subfamily can be distinguished from other Cecidomyiidae by characters of the male genitalia, the number of antennal segments , and bristles on the larval abdomen.[1]
