The family Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) including about 6100 described species displays diverse feeding habits. The tribe Asphondyliini is a well-circumscribed monophyletic group of Cecidomyiidae and all species are known as gall inducers. Species belonging to this tribe exhibit fascinating ecological traits such as host alternation, polyphagy, extended diapause, induction of dimorphic galls and association with fungal symbionts. For these reasons, biogeographical and phylogenetic studies of Asphondyliini are of interest in elucidating the evolution of these traits, and particularly the processes of host-range expansion, host-plant shift and shifts in gall-bearing organs. In order to facilitate further evolutionary studies of Asphondyliini, I review studies of systematics, biogeography, phylogeny, speciation, cytology, behavior, ecology, physiology, biological interaction and economic importance in this tribe.

“…Although most gall midges are known to be monophagous or oligophagous , such simultaneous utilization of more than one botanical family is seen in other congeners. For example, A. gennadii utilizes five botanical families as summer hosts (Orphanides, 1975) and Asphondylia websteri Felt utilizes pods or flowers of plant species belonging to Fabaceae and Simmondsiaceae (Gagné and Woods, 1988). As and pointed out, future DNA analysis will promote further findings of host alternation and polyphagy in Asphondylia gall midges.…”

Asphondylia yushimai, the soybean pod gall midge, completes its annual lifecycle with host alternation between fabaceous plants as summer hosts and Prunus zippeliana (Rosaceae) as a winter host. In the Tohoku District (northern Japan), however, A. yushimai needs an alternative winter host or hosts because the evergreen winter host, P. zippeliana, is not distributed in northern Japan. To find additional winter host plants of A. yushimai, five unidentified species of Japanese Asphondylia inducing galls on respective host plants in the winter season were examined based on DNA analysis, morphological observation, and ecological and distributional information. We concluded that Osmanthus heterophyllus (Oleaceae) is a winter host of A. yushimai. This paper reports these findings together with some biological and phenological information on A. yushimai and the winter host. Information on winter hosts will help to discover new control measures against A. yushimai.

“…Although gall-inducing cecidomyiids are mostly considered to be monophagous or oligophagous species utilizing one or several plant species in a single genus (e.g. Gagné 2004), at least four species of the genus Asphondylia are now known to be polyphagous in the tribe Asphondyliini (Harris 1975;Orphanides 1975;Gagné & Woods 1988;Yukawa et al 2003;Uechi et al 2004). In addition, the occurrence of polyphagous species is suspected in the genus Pseudasphondylia (Yukawa & Masuda 1996;Tokuda & Yukawa 2005).…”

Morphological studies, combined with phylogenetic analysis based on partial nucleotide sequencing of the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase subunit I region, were used to elucidate the taxonomic status of the genus Placochela Rübsaamen within the tribe Asphondyliini and of two included species. Placochela is confirmed as a distinct genus, separated from Schizomyia Kieffer morphologically and phylogenetically, but its two European species are not separable and are therefore synonymized. Illustrated descriptions of adults and larvae of Placochela nigripes (Löw) on two of its known hosts, Sambucus nigra Linnaeus and Ligustrum vulgare Linnaeus, are provided. Polyphagy has been recorded in the subtribe Asphondyliina, but this is the first record of such polyphagy in the subtribe Schizomyiina.
