Abstract

In a faunistic survey of Cecidomyiid gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in Isfraeen, Joghatai, and Jovein regions (North Khorasan province) in 2012, three species, Clinodiplosis cilicrus Kiefer 1889, Asphondylia anatolica Skuhrava1998 and Lasioptera carophila Low 1874 were collected and identified from galls on Cirsium arvense (L.), Astragalus sp. and Dacus carota L. respectively.
