Caryomyia recurvata
Gagne Description 2
Occasional, found on Eucarya hickories; usually in groups, on lower leaf surface on vein; 2.5-4.0 mm in length, recumbent, truncate near base, abruptly narrowed and recurved beyond basal third; white, green, to tan, hairless, glaucous; base of gall with central, conical pedicel surrounded by shallow, circular indentation; wall firm, brittle, uniformly thin except for slightly thicker blunt end, larval chamber glabrous, with longitudinal ridges following gall axis from leaf vein connection to recurved apex.
