Norway’s gall midge fauna

In the period 2019-2022 a team of specialists and collectors has collected throughout Norway over 1500 samples of plant galls, from more than 350 plant species. Participants of the project were Hallvard Elven, Zoya Fedotova,and Simon Haarder, Ove Sørlibråten, Lars Ove Hansen, Trude Starholm, and Arne Fjellberg. 143 Cecidomyiidae species were identified in the material collected. About half of the samples could successfully by reared, enabling a study of the adults. Over 600 photos of the material have been made by Hallvard Elven and made available on the Internet:

Important publication

JC Roskam, Plant Galls of Europe. Three volumes hard bound set, 2292 pages, € 399.

The book offers an English translation and modernisation of Herbert Buhr’s 1964/’65 compendium of the European plant galls. Moreover the older work of Houard, that was more specifically aimed at southern Europe has been incorporated, and of course the body of literature after Buhr’s time has been taken into account. All together well over 10 000 species of gall inducing organisms have been treated, keyed out in dichotomous keys per plant genus.
A work of this size without errata obviously is unthinkable. The autor will make them available in this site, on page: Errata to Roskam (2019)

new species for Belgium:

Aceria brachytarsus; Microbotryum cordae
