Bremiola


Bremiola is a genus of flies in the family Cecidomyiidae. The larvae induce galls on plants in the legume family.
This genus is only known from the Palearctic, mostly from central Asia and eastern Europe. Several species of Chalcidoid wasps are parasitoids of the larvae.

Taxonomy

Bremiola was first described and named by German entomologist Ewald Heinrich Rübsaamen in 1915. It is named after Johann Bremi-Wolf who described the type species - Bremiola onobrychidis - in 1847 based on a specimen collected in Switzerland. All other species were first described and named by Russian entomologist Zoya Fedotova between 1984 and 1994 based on specimens collected in Kazakhstan.
