Iteomyia capreae

Cecidomyia salicisfolii Hardy, 1854Iteomyia salicisfolii (Hardy, 1854)Cecidomyia capreae Winnertz, 1853 Iteomyia capreae is a gall midge which forms galls on willows (Salix species).

The midge forms two different galls which can be found, either on the leaf bade or on a side-vein of a leaf.

When mature the larvae drop from the gall, overwintering in the soil and pupating in the spring.

[3] The insect has been recorded in Asia, and Europe, from Ireland and Portugal in the west, through to Siberia, China and Japan in the east.
