One up four chambers are situated in lateral soft part of the shoot, not in the central part. Each gall contains one larva. Occurrence: very scarce (Fig. 122). Reference: MÖHN (1971). Distribution: Mediterranean. Taxomyia taxi (Inchbald, 1861) Larvae cause rosette or artichoke leaf galls on branches of Taxus baccata L. (Taxaceae). One orange larva develops in the centre of the gall. Occurrence: scarce (Fig. 123); Matadepera (Barcelona, 1990), Montseny (Barcelona, 1987), Montserrat (Barcelona, 1997, new finding), leg. Pujade-Villar. Reference: SKUHRAVÁ et al. (1996). Distribution: European. Thecodiplosis brachyntera (Schwägrichen, 1835) Larvae cause galls on needle paires of Pinus sylvestris L. (Pinaceae). The gall is formed of a pair of shortened, at base swollen and coalesced needles. One orange-red larva in the chamber. Occurrence: very scarce (Fig. 123); Teruel, leg. J. Baixeras of the University of Valencia, det. M. Skuhravá. Reference: SKUHRAVÁ et al. (1996). Distribution: Euro-Siberian. Trisopsis hyperici Tavares, 1919 Larvae prey on larvae of Geocrypta braueri (Handl.) in galls on Hypericum perforatum L. (Hypericaceae). Occurrence: very scarce (Fig. 124). Reference: TAVARES (1919). Distribution: Mediterranean. Wachtliella caricis (Loew, 1850) Cecidomyia riparia Winnertz, 1853 Larvae change into galls the fruits of Carex riparia L. (Cyperaceae). Occurrence: very scarce (Fig. 124). Reference: TAVARES (1905a). Distribution: European. Wachtliella ericina (F. Löw, 1885) Larvae cause large rosette or artichoke leaf galls at tips of branches of Erica arborea L., E. erigena R. Ross (= E. herbacea L.), E. terminalis Salisb. (= E. stricta Don Cat.) and E. australis L. (= E. aragonensis Wk.) (Ericaceae). The gall is up 10 mm in size. Each gall contains only one red larva. Occurrence: frequent (Fig. 125); Matadepera (Barcelona, 1984, new finding), leg. Pujade-Villar. References: TAVARES (1902a, 1905a, 1909, 1920, 1921), COGOLLUDO (1921), VILARRÚBIA (1936), BELLIDO et al. (2003). Distribution: sub-Mediterranean. Wachtliella persicariae (Linné, 1767) Larvae cause galls on leaves of Polygonum amphibium L. (Polygonaceae). The gall is formed of rolled, thickened leaf margins and contains several light red larvae. Occurrence: very scarce (Fig. 126). Reference: COGOLLUDO (1921). Distribution: European. Xerephedromyia ustjurtensis Fedotova, 1992 Larvae cause swellings on stems of Ephedra distachya L. (Ephedraceae). Occurrence: very scarce (Fig. 126). The galls were discovered in 1995 by Blasco-Zumeta in Monegros area (Zaragoza) and then many times in this area in subsequent years. Blasco-Zumeta was successful in rearing adults that are identical with the adults described from Kazakhstan (Middle Asia) by Fedotova in 1992 (FEDOTOVA, 2000). Reference: SKUHRAVÁ et al. (2002). Distribution: Euro-Asian, disjuncted, with small islands of occurrence in western Europe and in Asia (Kazakhstan). Boln. Asoc. esp. Ent., 30 (1-2): 93-159, 2006
