Smicronyx reichii (Gyllenhal, 1835)
on Centaurium
gall
De yellowish larvae develop in the fruits; once full-grown they leave through an opening made in the middle part of the fruit and pupate in the soil (Dieckmann) That they would make stem galls in Gentianella species, as stated by Buhr, is not correct.
host plants
Gentianaceae, monophagous
Centaurium erythraea, pulchellum.
