Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants © Roger Key Family   Tephritidae Sub Family   Description   tephritids, gall flies; also known as picture-winged flies, fruit flies Background to Family   The larvae of most British species develop in the flower- and seed-heads, roots and stems of the Asteraceae, where they often induce galls. Such species are usually restricted to single host genera. Other tephritids specialise on the fruit of Rosaceae or Berberidaceae, are leaf-miners, or develop in the galls of other insects. There are numerous commercial and garden pests.     © Roger Key No. taxa in DBIF   91 No. interactions   439 % interactions with British data   71% No. records   912 % taxa with British data   96% Notes   L. Clemons updated the nomenclature and made corrections to interactions added before 1990. He also provided a personal database of host associations, based on literature sources, which has been used to update the current data.; ; Notes on Sources   (16%) Niblett, M. 1939.
