Title: Quercivore gall midges in Hungary (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)
Year: 2012
Volume: 73
Pages: 109-113.



Abstract: Three species of quercivore (= feeding on oaks) gall midges, Contarinia cerriperda SKUHRAVÁ et SKUHRAVÝ, 1991, Parallelodiplosis galliperda (F. LÖW, 1889), Xenodiplosis laeviusculi (RÜBSAAMEN, 1910) are recorded for the first time from Hungary. This raises the number of species known from the country to 16. Thirteen species are real gall makers and the other 3 are inquilines. Several new host records are given, mostly from the non-native Quercus libani, planted in arboreta.
