Abstract Galls induced by Daphnephila gall midges on Machilus bombycina King ex Hook.f. (= Percea bombycina (King ex Hook.f.) Kosterm.) and Machilus gamblei King (Lauraceae) were respectively surveyed in Assam... and West Bengal, India. On each plant, one leaf and one stem gall were found. The leaf and stem gall inducers on M. gamblei have been known as Daphnephil a haasi Kieffer and D. glandifex Kieffer, respectively. However, b ecause shapes of both leaf and stem galls were different between M. bombycina and M. gamblei, gall inducers associated with M. bombycina are probably different species from D. haasi and D. g landifex. Although the leaf galler on M. bombycina was identified as a species of Asphondylia in some previous studies, gall midge features as well as gall morphology clearly indicate that the inducer is a member of the genus Daphnephila.show more
