Dasineura plicatrix is a species of gall midge, an insect in the family Cecidomyiidae, found in Europe.

The larvae feed within the tissue of bramble leaves, creating an abnormal growth known as a plant gall.

Signs of Dasineura plicatrix are contorted, young bramble leaves, which are found in the spring and early summer.

The leaves can be creased, pleated or pluckered, with thickened veins, and conspicuous black staining around the gall.

[3] Lestodiplosis plicatricis is an inquiline; a lodger or tenant of Dasineura plicatrix and live in the gall.
