Larvae and adults of the host midge on Galium circaezans (Rubiaceae) were preserved and identified as a possible new species of Neolasioptera. The previously undocumented gall (Figure 2 [see paper for photo]) is a fusiform, sometimes curved stem swelling, 6–9 mm long, typically containing 2–5 larvae (M.W. Palmer, in litt.). Pupation takes place within the gall. The reared adult midges emerged in early spring from galls collected in October.
