Dasineura auritae is a gall midge which forms galls on the leaves of sallows (Salix species) and their hybrids. It was first described by Ewald Heinrich Rübsaamen in 1916.
The gall is a short downward, hairless, roll containing one yellowish red larva, or if several rolls run together, several larvae. There are two generations per year; the summer generation pupate in the gall and the winter generation on the ground. It is found on eared willow ( S. aurita), goat willow ( S. caprea), grey willow ( S. cinerea) (as well as their hybrids) and Alpine grey willow ( S. glaucosericea). [1] [2]
The insect has been found in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden and Switzerland. [3]
