Genus Tricholaba Rübsaamen, 1917 View in CoL
The genus includes five species in the Palearctic region. All species are associated with Fabaceae . The larvae develop either in galled leaves or galled flowers. Some species are independent gall makers, some are inquilines in the galls of
Dasineura spp. , and some appear to be able to act both as independent gall makers and as inquilines. The larvae can make weak jumps. We have collected Tricholaba from leaf and flower galls from various species of Vicia , Trifolium , Lathyrus and Astragalus . Most of this material requires further study, but two species are reported here.
