Resseliella Theobaldi
''Resseliella'' is a genus of gall midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. There are at least 50 described species in ''Resseliella''. Species These 50 species belong to the genus ''Resseliella'': * '' Resseliella aurata'' (Felt, 1908) * '' Resseliella betulicola'' (Kieffer, 1889) * '' Resseliella californica'' (Felt, 1914) * '' Resseliella carnea'' (Kieffer, 1924) * '' Resseliella cincta'' (Felt, 1918) * '' Resseliella cinctella'' (Kieffer, 1913) * '' Resseliella clavula'' (Beutenmuller, 1892) (dogwood club gall midge) * '' Resseliella conicola'' (Foote, 1956) * '' Resseliella coryli'' (Felt, 1907) * '' Resseliella coryloides'' (Foote, 1956) * '' Resseliella crassa'' (Möhn, 1955) * '' Resseliella crataegi'' (Barnes, 1939) * '' Resseliella dizygomyzae'' (Barnes, 1933) * '' Resseliella emblicae'' Chandra, 1991 * '' Resseliella fruticosi'' (Pitcher, 1955) * '' Resseliella galegae'' (Neacs(with line beneath)u, 1971) * '' Resseliella hudsoni'' (Felt, 1907) * '' Resseliella ingrica'' (Mam ...

Cecidomyiidae
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 yet ...
