“…Both of these Aciurina -associated communities appear to be far richer than those documented from other studied Asteraceae-galling Tephritidae species (e.g. Valentibulla spp., Tephritis conura, Eutreta diana, Eutreta xanthochaeta, Tomoplagia rudolfi, Urophora cardui ) by at least two-fold (Wangberg 1978, Romstock-Volkl 1990, Emlen 1992, Hernández-López et al 2021, Maia and Silva 2021, Swenson et al 2022).
