Theke are also gall-making insects among the Diptera. Such, for example, is the Thistle-gall Fly (Jlrophora Gardui), which produces large and hard woody galls upon the thistle, as well as several species of the larger genus Tephritis, some species of which live in the parts of fructification of several flowers, the common dandelion being infested by LEAF MIXEnS AXD ROLLERS.
