 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

 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

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

Dr Michael von Tschirnhaus, a leading expert on Chloropidae and Agromyzidae, died on 16 September 2025 at the age of 86. He will be greatly missed by the international community. R.I.P.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
