Biology: The white larvae develop in parenchymal galls on the leaves of Fraxinus spp. ( Oleaceae ). Our records are all from F. excelsior . Each larva lives in a roundish gall evident by a small bulge on the upper side of the leaf. The

gall is hardly miscolored while occupied but turns brown after the larva has left it. Univoltine; pupation and hibernation in the soil.

Distribution: Western Palearctic. Widespread in Europe including Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.
