Abstract
A new species of gall midge, Dasineura lupinorum (Diptera: Cecidomyiid ae), is described and illustrated. Larvae cause leaflet galls on Lupin us spp. (Fabaceae) in California and Oregon. The new species is distin guished from similar species of Dasineura, which also form leaflet gal ls on legumes, and from Dasineura lupini Felt, which forms a bud gall on lupines.
