Neil Just reord it as Dasineura (undescribed species A). Linking it to D. harrisoni just continues past confusion which started when Bagnall proposed a new...
Many thanks Keith & Robert for the educational replies. I'll record this as D. harrisoni (species A) for now. Best wishes Neil Fletcher ... some ... a ... ...
That sounds about par for the course - if it doesn't match exactly use some artistic license and stuff it under something vaguely similar that has a named...
This gall is currently attributed to an undescribed species of Dasineura - undescribed species A in my article in Cecidology 25: 6-10. In British Plant Galls...
Hi Neil, It is not in Redfern et al because it has not got a causer's name. There are many galls with no named causer that are not included because the BPGS ...
I wonder if anyone can help me, please? I found this gall today on calcareous grassland at Parsonage Down in Wiltshire on Dropwort (Filipendula vulgaris). The...
I was just idly pasting some GRs for forthcoming BPGS meetings into my GPS when I noted that the reference for Saturday's Faggs Wood meeting lacks a digit. I...
Update from Tony Leech (Norfolk Fungus Recorder) 'First point to make is that there has been yet another name change! The fungi in question are on the BMS...

It gets murkyer! I've checked the tansy seed in my collection and find that normal sized seeds often have holes in the sides at the bottom and there are lots...
Here is an excellent image of an ovipositing female Ozirhincus, posted on the internet by Klaas van der Veen. If anyone has observations of similar gall midge...
Jerry Clough/Robert Maidstone et al. Ozirhincus is a distinctive and interesting Palaearctic genus and Netta Dorchin is currently revising the known species....
Hi Charles, Welcome to BPGS. I hope that you continue to find lots more interesting galls on your travels and that members can help you with any queries. 'bye...
Hi Jerry, Open some of the empty galls, if they are empty then it a good chance the larva leaves the gall. Otherwise all/some of the pupal skin will be inside....
Dear All Just like to introduce myself. I'm Charlie Moores and I live on a National Trust estate (a tenant, not an owner unfortunately!) near Melksham in...
I first noted this gall last year on Tansy in the garden (although scrutiny of old photos showed I'd missed spotting it since 2008). During the autumn it was...
Thanks Malcolm, Leaves cetainly not R acetosa. Collected back in 2003. I have a bit of the dried stem so will get a piece to a Norfolk mycological expert...
I think that you'd always have to open the galls when they are young. Later in August when the *J. frankumi* galls have split open to release the larvae, the...
Jerry, Can I possibly ask you to put your Diplolepis spinosossomae record (and any other records you may have for teh Cheshire region) into RODIS (rECOrd...
I found a colony of Silk Spangle Galls today in Waveney Forest Fritton VC25 East Suffolk. on one tree only. As I reported I have noticed a significant decrease...
Difficult to say for sure but these could be stem galls induced by Janetiella frankumi. The location and the timing are right but ideally galls should be...
I had a brief chance to do some gall hunting on Saturday morning and found galls on Burnet Rose at Red Rocks SSSI, Hoylake, Wirral. I only took one gall from a...
Hi Robert, Have you uploaded the drawings yet? (Hope you included enough leaf to show it wasn't Rumex acetosa.) Suppose you ought to check the spores under a...
I'm scanning in my gall drawings and updating the names and have a drawing of a piece of Dock stem, identified as Rumex sanguineus, which is swollen and...
