General Information
Anthodiplosis is a genus of gall midges within the family Cecidomyiidae. The genus was described by Kieffer in 1912.[2]
Ecology and Interactions
Members of this genus, such as Anthodiplosis eutrochii, have been documented interacting with plants of the genus Eutrochium (e.g., Eutrochium maculatum).[3]

Based on observations of Anthodiplosis eutrochii from the TreeOfLife-200M dataset, these insects exhibit the characteristic delicate, slender morphology typical of many gall midges.[1] They possess long, thin legs and slender antennae. The wings are typically clear or lightly patterned, and the body is often small and fragile in appearance.[1]
