Larval Foodplants. In this study, reared adults and galls of G. septentrionellum
came from Aster noyae-angliae, A. pilosus, A. simplex, and A. praealtus Poir. The
foodplant reported by Fyles ( 1 9 1 1 b), Aster junceus Ait. , is now referable to A.
junciformis Rydb. (Fernald 1950). Insect Biology. Similarity to the preceding three
species in overall pattern of insect and gall development indicates that G.
septentrionellum is univoltine. As gleaned from 16 field notes made in three
states during ...

1987). The one adult reared in this study came from Aster sagittifolius
Wedemeyer in lower Michigan. Insect and Gall Biology. Similarity to all the
preceding species in overall insect and gall development indicates that G.
gallaeasterellum is univoltine. Kellicott (1878) reported pupation underway on 1
July, presumably in New York. Near Toronto, Ontario, adult eclosion from caged
galls ranged 28 July-20 August, and was complete in nature by mid- August (
Brodie 1909b, Cosens 1910).

In the East, it is known only from the type series reared in Massachusetts from
main-stem galls on Aster ericoides L. at or near ground level. The finished adult
exit of this galler is covered by intact plant epidermis (Busck 1911). In the West, G
. subterraneum galls occur on A. chilensis Nees, varying in height from ground
level upward (Powell and Povolny 2000). Although this moth induces stem galls
of the hard, persistent type like the moths studied here, unlike those studied here,
the ...
