Cecidomyia acrophila Winnertz, 1853 | |
Dasineura acrophila is a gall midge which forms galls on the leaves of ash ( Fraxinus species). It was first described by Johannes Winnertz in 1853 and is found in Europe.
Part of the leaflet is thickened and folded upwards to form a pod. It contains, up to twenty white larvae in late spring and early summer, or the remains of skin casts and faeces after the larvae have left. [2] [3]
Species of ash galled, include white ash or American ash ( Fraxinus americana), narrow-leafed ash ( Fraxinus angustifolia & subsp. oxycarpa), Bunge's ash ( Fraxinus bungeana), common ash ( Fraxinus excelsior), manna ash ( Fraxinus ornus) and Pallis' ash ( Fraxinus pallisiae). [4]
