Ampelomyia
''Ampelomyia'' is a genus of gall midges in the tribe Asphondyliini. It consists of the following four species, all of which form galls on grape A grape is a fruit, botanically a berry, of the deciduous woody vines of the flowering plant genus ''Vitis''. Grapes are a non- climacteric type of fruit, generally occurring in clusters.

Ampelomyia Viticola
''Ampelomyia viticola'', the grape tube gallmaker, is a species of gall midge found in the eastern United States and Canada. It produces green or bright red galls on new world grape vines. Taxonomic history and names In 1862, Carl Robert Osten-Sacken described this species, placing it in the genus '' Cecidomyia''. He based the description on galls on ''Vitis'' and larvae found in the vicinity of Washington, D.C. The magazine ''The American Entomologist'' had a column where readers could ask for identifications. In 1869 a reader from Piermont, New York, asked the editors about the crimson galls found on a grape leaf. The editors, Benjamin Dann Walsh and Charles Valentine Riley, responded that in unpublished manuscripts of theirs they had given the galls the name ''Vitis lituus'' and noted they were made by a gall gnat in the genus ''Cecidomyia''. This would create a specific name ''Cecidomyia vitis lituus'', which is an unavailable name. In 1911, Ephraim Porter Felt incorrectly r ...

''Ampelomyia vitiscoryloides,'' the grape filbert gall midge, is a species of gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae. It induces galls on grape plants and is widespread in eastern North America. It was first described by Alpheus Spring Packard Alpheus Spring Packard Jr. LL.D. (February 19, 1839 – February 14, 1905) was an American entomologist and palaeontologist.

Gall Midges
Cecidomyiidae is a family of flies known as gall midges or gall gnats. As the name implies, the larvae of most gall midges feed within plant tissue, creating abnormal plant growths called galls. Cecidomyiidae are very fragile small insects usually only in length; many are less than long. They are characterised by hairy wings, unusual in the order Diptera, and have long antennae. Some Cecidomyiids are also known for the strange phenomenon of paedogenesis in which the larval stage reproduces without maturing first. In some species, the daughter larvae consume the mother, while in others, reproduction occurs later on in the egg or pupa. More than 6,650 species and 830 genera are described worldwide, though this is certainly an underestimate of the actual diversity of this family. A DNA barcoding study published in 2016 estimated the fauna of Canada alone to be in excess of 16,000 species, hinting at a staggering global count of over 1 million cecidomyiid species that have ...
