Allarete vernalis is a species of gall midge in the family Cecidomyiidae. It was originally described by Ephraim Porter Felt in 1908 as Lestremia vernalis[2].
Based on observations from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, Allarete vernalis exhibits the characteristic delicate, slender morphology typical of many cecidomyiids. The specimens display long, multi-segmented antennae and slender, elongated legs. The wings are relatively large in proportion to the body, with a reduced venation pattern characteristic of the family. The body coloration is generally muted, often appearing in shades of brown or grey, which provides camouflage in their natural environment.[1]
