gall

leaves twisted, sometimes also the plant itself too; leaf margins narrowly rolled in; higher leaves often bunched; flowers greened.

hostplants

Euphorbiaceae, monophagous

Euphorbia amygdaloides, cyparissias, epithymoides, esula, peplus, palustris.

notes

On Euphorbia live a number of Eriophyidae species and genera. The degree of the galling partly depends on the density of the mites on the plant. Without a microscopic study of the mites any identification must be considered tentative.
