Cecidomyiidae, the gall midges or gall gnats, is a megadiverse family of Diptera with about 6,600 described species; most Cecidomyiinae larvae are herbivorous gall inducers, others fungivorous or predatory, with paedogenesis in some species.
Cecidophyopsis ribis
Cecidophyopsis ribis (Westwood, 1869), the blackcurrant gall mite or currant bud mite, is an eriophyid mite pest of Ribes nigrum that galls buds and vectors blackcurrant reversion virus; controlled mainly by the Ce resistance gene and sulphur acaricides.
