Fergusonina is a genus of gall-forming flies and is the sole member of the family Fergusoninidae. There are about 21 species in the genus, all of them producing galls on Eucalyptus, Melaleuca, and Metrosideros[1] species (all in the family Myrtaceae) in Australia and New Zealand. 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. Most of the fly species are specific to their tree hosts but a few use more than one species of host.[2][3]
