Dasineura helianthemi (Hardy, 1850)

Cecidomyia helianthemi Hardy, 1850 Contarinia helianthemi (Hardy, 1850)

Larvae cause galls on leaf buds of Helianthemum nummularium (Cistaceae). For a long time this species was included in the genus Contarinia by many authors. Harris (2009b) designated a neotype after analysing morphological characters of reared adults and larvae coming to the conclusion that this species belongs to the genus Dasineura. In the Czech Republic this species was found at only one locality, Velká kotlina under the Vysoká hole Mt., 1464 m a. s. l., in the Hrubý Jeseník Mts and is evaluated as subalpine species (Skuhravá 1994a, b), in Slovakia at two localities at altitudes of 1500 to 1900 m in the Belianske Tatry Mts (Skuhravá 1991).

Distribution: Europe to North Africa (Skuhravá 1997).

Dasineura traili (Kieffer, 1909)

Larvae cause flower bud galls on Ranunculus sp. (Ranunculaceae). Galls of this species are known to occur rarely in Bohemia and Moravia. This species is included in the red list of threatened species of the Czech Republic (Skuhravá 2005).

Czech Republic, Bohemia: Cunkov, north of Jistebnice (6553), 580 m a. s. l., 10.6.2009, galls; leg. J. Máca.

Macrolabis brunellae Tavares, 1907

Macrolabis brunellae Rübsaamen, 1921;  Macrolabis ruebsaameni Hedicke, 1938

Larvae cause galls at the growing points of Prunella vulgaris L. (Lamiacae). On the basis of comparison of the description of Macrolabis brunellae with the description of M. brunellae Rübsaamen, 1921, it is clear that both species are identical. Therefore the name Macrolabis heraclei given by Hedicke to the species M. brunellae is superfluous (Skuhravá et al. 2006).

Distribution: European. In the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic this species occurs scarcely (Skuhravá 1991, 1994a, b).

Micromya lucorum Rondani, 1840

Distribution: Holarctic.

Oligotrophus gemmarum (Rübsaamen, 1914)

Schmidtiella gemmarum Rübsaamen, 1914)

Larvae cause small bud galls on branches of Juniperus communis L. (Cupressaceae). Harris et al. (2006) demonstated on the basis of morphological characters and molecular analyses that the species Schmidtiella gemmarum belongs to the genus Oligotrophus.

Distribution: This species was discovered in Poland and found in UK, the Netherlands and Germany. In the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic it occurs very scarcely (Skuhravá 1991; Skuhravá 1994a, b).

Rabdophaga degeerii (Bremi, 1847)

Rhabdophaga ramicola Rübsaamen, 1915

Larvae cause swellings on branches of Salix purpurea L. (Salicaceae).

Slovakia: Poprad (6987), 670 m a. s. l., Tatranská Lomnica (6887), 860 m a. s. l., 1923, galls, leg. E. Baudyš (Baudyš 1924, as R. salicis). In the previous version of the Checklist of Diptera (Jedlička et al. 2006) the occurrence in Slovakia was not given.

Distribution: widespread in Europe; in many articles it is given under the name Rabdophaga salicis on Salix purpurea. This species is known from Bohemia and Moravia. First record from Slovakia.

Larvae cause conspicuous bud galls on branches of Salix purpurea L. (Salicaceae).

Slovakia: Vrátná dolina (6879), 580 m a. s. l. in the Malá Fatra Mts, 20.7.1972, galls, leg., det., coll. M. Skuhravá. First record from Slovakia. This species is known to occur in the Czech Republic (Skuhravá 1994a, b, as Dasineura insignis).

Distribution: Germany, Poland, Italy, Austria (galls in my collection).

Larvae cause weak cylindrical or spindle swellings on thin branches of Salix aurita and S. cinerea. This species is given in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Diptera, Vol. 4 (Skuhravá 1986) as a synonym of Rabdophaga salicis (Schrank, 1803) on the basis of synonymization of Nijveldt (1977). Stelter (1978) did not agreed with Nijveldt, considered it as an independent species and gave its redescription (Stelter 1980, 1993) which is accepted at present (Gagné 2004).

Distribution: European species, recorded from UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Ukraine.

This species is known to occur solitarily in Bohemia and Moravia (Skuhravá 1994a, b where it is given under the name Dasineura karschi). In Slovakia the galls of R. karschi were found at Dobšiná (7188), 860 m a. s. l. (Baudyš 1956). Skuhravá (1991) gave this species under the name Dasineura salicis.

Larvae cause swellings of the leaf bases and adjacent parts of the stem on Salix aurita and S. cinerea L. (Salicaceae). Stelter (1977) redescribed this species, established a neotype and gave two species, Bertieria rosariella Kieffer, 1896, and B. superna Kieffer, 1896, as its synonyms. Nijveldt (1979) and Nijveldt & Yukawa (1982) considered R. pulvini to be a synonym of R. clavifex whereas Stelter (1982, 1993) gave R. pulvini as a valid species. This species is given in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Diptera by Skuhravá (1986) as a synonym of R. clavifex. Harris (2009a) recently examined galls and larvae and demonstrated that R. rosariella is a good valid species and it is not identical with R. pulvini or with R. clavifex.

Distribution: Sweden, Denmark, Latvia, UK, France, Germany, Poland, Austria, Russia (European part), Portugal, Italy, Romania, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina; Czech Republic, Slovakia. In the previous version of the checklist of Diptera (Jedlička et al. 2006) this species is not given as an distinct species and, therefore, I mention here shortly its occurrence. In the Czech Republic galls of this species were found at 114 localities (Skuhravá 1994a, b under Dasineura pulvini) and in Slovakia at 9 localities (Skuhravá 1991 as a synonym of Dasineura clavifex).

Rabdophaga rosariella (kieffer, 1897)

Larvae cause very small leaf rosette galls on branches of Salix aurita L. and S. cinerea L. (Salicaceae). Stelter (1977) considered R. rosariella to be a synonym of R. pulvini, and Nijveldt (1979) considered it to be a synonym of R. clavifex. I followed in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Diptera Nijveldt´s conception. Harris (2009a) recently examined galls and larvae and demonstrated that R. rosariella is a good valid species that is not identical with R. pulvini, nor with R. clavifex. Rabdophaga rosariella was not given in the previous version of the Checklist of Diptera (Jedlička et al. 2006) and, therefore, here are given the missing data.

In the Czech Republic the galls of this species were found at 36 localities of which 18 were in Bohemia and 18 in Moravia (Skuhravá 1994a, b under Dasineura pulvini), in Slovakia at one locality (Skuhravá 1991 under Dasinerura clavifex).

Distribution: Latvia, Lithuania, France, England, Germany, Austria, Italy, Bosna and Herzegovina.
