Biology and notes: The white larvae develop one or several together in galled flower buds of Convallaria majalis and Polygonatum spp. ( Asparagaceae ). Our records are all from Convallaria majalis . Infected buds do not open. Univoltine; pupation and hibernation in the soil. Note that there is some uncertainty regarding whether midges from Convallaria and Polygonatum belong to the same species. If they are not conspecific, our identification will need to be revised.
Distribution: Known from a few European countries including Norway, Sweden and Denmark. European part of Russia.
