gall fly

English to Spanish Science Environment & Ecology
Ésta es una mosca que causa agallas. Vea: http://www.invasive.org/browse/subimages.cfm?sub=4353

Encontré un sitio peruano que dice "moscas de la agalla" pero ése fue el único ejemplo. Encontré un sitio español que dice "moscas de las frutas" pero otra investigación me revela que de hecho ese nombre común se refiere a otras especieas. Hay varias especies de "gall flies" y en este contexto todos pertenecen al género Urophora. http://www.invasive.org/browse/genus.cfm?id=Urophora

del texto original:
"...To control the spread of spotted knapweed, two types of *****gall flies***** have been released into areas with spotted knapweed... *****Gall flies****** lay their eggs on the flowerhead of the spotted knapweed. When the eggs hatch and become larvae, the larvae burrow into the flowerhead to feed on the plant...."

Note from asker:
????? I go to that page you cite and "mosca del olivo" corresponds to Bactrocera oleae! That's not at all the fly in question!

I think it might be 'mosca negra' because it has a dark body. Not sure of this.

Urophora affinis = seed head gall fly
Urophora quadrifasciata = seed head gall fly

According to some authors these are both gall flies.

Note from asker:
They are both gall flies. The common name gall flies is used to name all the species of genus Urophora, if I'm not mistaken.
