Could someone help me identifying these gall? It was on Artemisia sp. The photo (author: Guillermo Booth) was made near Murcia, Spain, on 17.2.2008. Perhaps Ptiloedaspis tavaresiana? Thanks Jordi Clavell attached the following image: [107.02Kb] |

All galls of this shape differ mainly in the species of host plant and localisation; but almost nothing is known about Spanish plants; see my paper of http://www.v-zool...2/3/01.pdf
