Gall Midges of Economic Importance [PDF]
Nature, 1946 THE gall midges or Cecidomyidse are a family of rather primitive, structurally degenerate Diptera, of very small or minute size. They derive their name from the fact that the majority of species during their larval stages are plant-feeders which induce in their hosts the malformations termed galls or cecidia.

Does a shift to a novel host plant create a defence‐free space for a specialist herbivore species?
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 2085-2095, August 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While host switches can promote speciation in herbivorous insects, the benefits of switching hosts have only been ascribed to escaping competition and natural enemies. Herbivores might also escape from the defences of their ancestral host if their new host species lacks

Description of a new species of Orseolia (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) from Paspalum in West Africa, with notes on its parasitoids, ecology and relevance to natural biological control of the African rice gall midge, O. oryzivora [PDF]
, 2017 Field sampling of grasses growing in and near rice fields at 12 sites in Nigeria during April/May 1994 recorded the presence of galls on Paspalum scrobiculatumat densities of up to 10.9 galls per m2. These galls were induced by Orseolia bonzii Harris, sp.

Insect gallers and their plant hosts : From omics data to systems biology [PDF]
, 2016 Gall-inducing insects are capable of exerting a high level of control over their hosts’ cellular machinery to the extent that the plant’s development,metabolism,chemistry,and physiology are all altered in favour of the insect.
