Abstract

During 1961 and 1962, all stages of Melanagromyza schineri (Diptera: Agromyzidae) were collected from galls on trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) in the vicinity of Black Sturgeon Lake, Ontario. The biology and behaviour of this insect have apparently never been studied in detail. M. schineri is also known to occur in Europe in Salix spp., and on Populus spp. in Massachusetts, Colorado, and Washington in the United States (Frick, K.E. Proc. U.S. Natl. Mus. 108:347-465, 1959).
