Abstract
Three cecidomyiid galls were found on Machilus thunbergii Hayata (Lauraceae ) in the Guandaushi forest of central Taiwan. The one on the twigs is the s pindle-shaped gall. The two on the leaves are the swan-shaped gall and the club-shaped gall. These galls are all induced by gall midges of the genus D aphnephila (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae). Galls, the larvae of the inducers, gal l size, and the general structures of the gall were studied and are describ ed in this paper.
