A New Species of Gall Midge (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) from Subterranean Stem Galls of Licania Michauxii (Chrysobalanaceae) in Florida

Isolation and Characterization of Microsatellite Loci in the Asian Rice Gall Midge (Orseolia oryzae) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)

Microsatellite loci were isolated from the genomic DNA of the Asian rice gall midge, Orseolia oryzae (Wood-Mason) using a hybridization capture approach. A total of 90 non-redundant primer pairs, representing unique loci, were designed. These simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers represented di (72%), tri (15.3%), and complex repeats (12.7%). Three biotypes of gall midge (20 individuals for each...

Within-Field Distribution of the Sunflower Midge (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)

The sunßower midge, Contarinia schulzi Gagné (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), is a pest of cultivated sunßower (Helianthus annuus L.). Larval feeding can cause damage and yield loss to the sunßower head. Adult emergence is extended and larvae are well protected in the sunßower receptacle, making chemical control methods difÞcult and expensive. Sunßower midge enter sunßower Þelds at the edges but Þeldw...
