Just wondering if anyone could advise if D.pteridis is the correct name or if D.filicina should be used? Thanks. Edited by Barry on 20-10-2014 16:41 |

The catalog by Gagné and Jaschhoff (2014) considers them synonyms: pteridis. Widespread Europe, Japan. Pteridium aquilina (Polypodiaceae). Cecidomyia pteridis Müller 1871b: 100. UK: England, vic. S. Norwood; ST; L; lost. This name has been overlooked since its first use but the gall described is the same as that described for C. filicina. Cecidomyia filicina Kieffer 1889c: 191. France: Bitche & St Avold; ST; ♂,♀,L,egg; lost?. |
