Dasineura trifolii (F. Löw, 1874) View in CoL
Material: AK, Oslo: Ellingsrud , 59.932462°N
10.920727°E ± 5m, 10 September 2022, on Trifolium repens, LMF , leg. HE , coll. NHMO.
Biology and notes: The yellowish to orange larvae develop in galled leaves of Trifolium spp. ( Fabaceae ). Infected leaves are folded up over the midrib and are slightly inflated along the midrib to form a shallow pouch, in which the larvae live. Multivoltine. The early generations pupate in the gall. The larvae of the last generation leave the gall to hibernate in the soil. The gall strongly resembles that of Tricholaba trifolii , but the latter does not have a pouch-like inflation. Both species seem to be common in southern Norway, but Dasineura trifolii possibly less so than Tricholaba trifolii . The species is redescribed in Skuhravá & Skuhravý (1960).
Distribution: Widespread Palearctic, including Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Introduced to the USA.
