Cecidophyes rouhollahi Acari: Eriophyoidea - gall mite
Cecidophyes rouhollahi

Photographs on Galium aparine, Cleavers

Hosts:
Galium aparine, spurium, tricornutum

Leaves tightly rolled upwards from the midrib, several generations a year.

The galls are identical to those of C. galii but Redfern and Shirley (2011) believe all British records are C. rouhollahi (first described 1999) and that there is no evidence at present that C. galii occurs in Britain
