Abstract

The galls induced on Tamarix spp. in Pakistan by six species of Psectrosema are described, and the known host ranges and geographical distributions of these species are given, together with information on seasonal biology and adult behaviour based on field surveys and laboratory observations. Parasitic Hymenoptera and other insects associated with the galls are listed.
