These flies, considered closely related to [[Agromyzidae]], are small and their larvae grow within galls formed on the leaf, shoot or flower buds. The galls themselves are induced by endosymbiotic nematodes in the genus ''[[Fergusobia]]'' (family [[Neotylenchidae]]) which are obligate mutualists of the flies. Females carry the nematode in their haemocoel, and transport them to host plants while laying their eggs. Most of the fly species are specific to their tree hosts but a few use more than one species of host.<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1111/bij.12237|title=An emerging example of tritrophic coevolution between flies (Diptera: Fergusoninidae) and nematodes (Nematoda: Neotylenchidae) on Myrtaceae host plants|journal=Biological Journal of the Linnean Society|volume=111|issue=4|pages=699–718|year=2014|last1=Nelson|first1=Leigh A.|last2=Davies|first2=Kerrie A.|last3=Scheffer|first3=Sonja J.|last4=Taylor|first4=Gary S.|last5=Purcell|first5=Matthew F.|last6=Giblin-Davis|first6=Robin M.|last7=Thornhill|first7=Andrew H.|last8=Yeates|first8=David K.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|doi= 10.1071/IS02033|title= Revision of Fergusonina Malloch gall flies (Diptera : Fergusoninidae) from Melaleuca (Myrtaceae)|journal= Invertebrate Systematics|volume= 18|issue= 3|pages= 251|year= 2004|last1= Taylor|first1= Gary S.}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2017.07.023|pmid=28757445|title=Phylogenetics of Australasian gall flies (Diptera: Fergusoninidae): Evolutionary patterns of host-shifting and gall morphology|journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution|volume=115|pages=140–160|year=2017|last1=Scheffer|first1=S.J.|last2=Davies|first2=K.A.|last3=Taylor|first3=G.S.|last4=Thornhill|first4=A.H.|last5=Lewis|first5=M.L.|last6=Winkler|first6=I.S.|last7=Yeates|first7=D.K.|last8=Purcell|first8=M.F.|last9=Makinson|first9=J.|last10=Giblin-Davis|first10=R.M.}}</ref>

Fergusonina, the sole genus in the family of Fergusoninidae, are gall-forming flies. There are about 40 species in the genus, all of them producing galls on Eucalyptus, Melaleuca, Corymbia, and Metrosideros[2] species (all in the family Myrtaceae) in Australia and New Zealand.

These flies are small and their larvae grow within galls formed on the leaf, shoot or flower buds.[3][4][5] The galls themselves are induced by endosymbiotic nematodes in the genus Fergusobia (family Neotylenchidae) which are obligate mutualists of the flies.[3] Females carry the nematode in their haemocoel, and transport them to host plants while laying their eggs.[3] Most of the fly species are specific to their tree hosts but a few use more than one species of host.[3][4][5]

The taxonomic placement of Fergusoninidae is disputed. While formerly in the superfamily Opomyzoidea, a 2020 study places it within superfamily Nerioidea based on morphology,[6] while a 2021 study using transcriptome data places it in a group along with Agromyzidae and other families[7]
