Caryomyia echinata, the hickory spiny gall midge, is a species[1] of gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae, occurring in Eastern North America. [2]
Etymology
"The name echinata is a Latin adjective meaning spiny, with reference to the long, stiff hairs covering the gall." [3]:38
Ecology
Larvae induce galls on the leaves of hickory trees, including Carya laciniosa, Carya ovata, Carya pallida, Carya texana, and Carya tomentosa. [4] Pupae emerge in late summer through the side of the gall near the base.[3]:50
"This gall is the only woody Caryomyia gall that is covered with very long, stiff hairs and occurs between instead of on veins." [3]:38
