Could someone help me identifying these gall? Pehaps it was produced by Myopites olivieri (= M. inulaedyssentericae)? It was on Dittrichia viscosa. The photo (author: David Molina) was made near Castellón, Spain, on 9.1.2008. Thanks Jordi Clavell attached the following image:  [140.99Kb] Edited by Jordi Clavell on 23-01-2012 19:24 |

No question, a Myopites. The only species known to me to infest D. viscosa is M. longirostris, but still Iberian species are poorly understood. I do not know what "olivieri" is.

M. olivieri (not valid) is a synonym of M. inulaedyssentericae. Thanks |
