A new species of Dasineura Rondani (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in flower galls of Camassia (Asparagaceae: Agavoideae) in the Pacific Northwest, USA
“
Galled flowers produce no seeds and develop differently from uninfested buds and flowers (Figs. 1, 2), sometimes keeping their tepals completely or partially closed while the ovary enlarges. In rare cases, all six sepals and petals open, exposing the engorged, fruit-sized ovary.
