Mycodiplosis
Sign in to saveMycodiplosis is a genus of gall midges. The larvae feed on the spores of rust fungi, powdery mildews, downy mildews, Polythrincium trifolii, and Rhytisma acerinum. It is thought that they are generalist, without strong preferences for individual species of rust; there is only limited evidence to suggest some degree of host specificity. ==Taxonomy== Mycodiplosis contains the following species: Mycodiplosis pucciniae Mycodiplosis thoracica Mycodiplosis fraxinicola Mycodiplosis sphaerothecae Mycodiplosis coniophaga Mycodiplosis erysiphes Mycodiplosis heterosaetosa Mycodiplosis gymnosporan
