Crustacea: Copepoda - Cerambycoidea.com

ut some occur in galleries of Diptera and Lepidoptera. Saprophagous, or possibly
feeding on frass or dead insects.
Odinia betulae MacGowan & Rotheray – Adults found under brackets of birch polypore
Piptoporus betulinus in Wester Ross.
Odinia boletina (Zetterstedt)* - Larva probably develops in beetle borings in Polyporaceae,
mainly Ganoderma, but also Fomes, Polyporus squamosus, Bjerkandera; females
seen on underside of brackets, and also at sap run on horse chestnut. England &
Ireland.
Odinia hendeli Collin - RDB2. Has been found with larvae of the beetle Ischnomera in a
decaying large elm. Only known from three sites across southern England.
Odinia maculata (Meigen) - RDB3. Larvae associated with sappy workings of wood-boring
beetle larvae and goat moth in oak, and adult has been found at a sap run on oak. Five
localities across southern England.
Odinia meijerei Collin - Nationally Scarce. Larvae are commensal in borings of the elm
bark beetles Scolytus scolytus & S. multistriatus. Southern England.
Odinia ornata (Zetterstedt) - RDB2. Known from spruce in USSR, although associated with
birch woods in East Anglia.
Odinia pomona Cogan - RDB1. Larvae reared from beneath bark on dead apple tree;
Danbury, Essex (1964).
Odinia xanthocera Collin* - RDB2. Larvae occur in second year galls of the beetle Saperda
populnea in aspen and Salix stems, feeding on pre-pupae, pupae and pre-adults;
Glengariff (Co Cork), Bernwood Forest (Oxfordshire) and Cobham (Surrey).
Agromyzidae
Hexomyza schineri (Giraud) - Forms twig galls on Populus nigra and P. tremula.
Hexomyza simplicoides (Hendel) - Forms twig galls on Salix spp., especially S.caprea.
Phytobia - All species are believed to feed in cambium of twigs or trunks of trees.
Phytobia cambii (Hendel)* - The larva bores in the cambium of stems of Salix spp and aspen,
pupating on the ground beneath; widespread.
Phytobia carbonaria (Zetterstedt) - Bores in Rosaceae: Crataegus, Malus. Hertfordshire,
Cambridgeshire, Cornwall, Dunbartonshire.
Phytobia cerasiferae (Kangas) - The larva bores in stems of Prunus cerasifera, and pupates
in early spring on the ground beneath. East Malling & Corsica.
Phytobia errans (Meigen) - Host species unknown; Kent, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire,
Dunbartonshire.
Anthomyzidae
Fungomyza albimana (Meigen) - Has been recorded visiting various decaying fungi
including some wood decay species; presumed to develop in fungi, unlike most other
members of family which are higher plant feeders.
Aulacigastridae
Aulacigaster leucopeza (Meigen) - Nationally Scarce. Larvae feed on decomposing sap of
sap-runs; adults can be fairly frequent at sap on horse chestnut, and were formerly so
at elm before Dutch elm disease; also reported at yew and oak. Southern Britain and
Scotland.
Periscelididae - Larvae are said to develop in decomposing sap of tree wounds.
Periscelis (Microperiscelis) annulata (Fallén) - Nationally Scarce. Larvae appear to develop
in the fermenting sap of broadleaved trees, including beech, elm, ash and sycamore.
Adults are usually found near to sap runs. Prefers old woods with post-mature trees;
mostly in southern England. Also a few records from Edinburgh area and Perthshire
where non-woodland trees involved.
