Asphondylia floccosa, the woolly stem gall midge, is a species of gall midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. [1] The larvae induce galls on Atriplex polycarpa. [1] They don't feed on the gall itself, but rather fungus that grows within the gall. Each gall can contain anywhere from one to fifteen chambers. [2] This species is known from Arizona and California, and was first described by American entomologist Raymond Gagne in 1968. [1]
