Resumen

Contarinia pseudotsugae (Douglas-fir needle midge) has been detected in two provinces (Limburg and Noord-Brabant) and Contarinia cuniculator has been detected in five provinces (Utrecht, Overijssel, Limburg, Noord-Brabant and Gelderland). The first suspicion of C. cf pseudotsugae was reported in December 2015 in three provinces. Based on gall and larval characteristics the presence of two Contarinia species is now suspected, instead of one. Findings were triggered by the yearly national specific survey of forest stands inter alia for the fungi Mycophaerella and Gibberella and Pine Wood Nematode. The origin of the finding is unknown. Before the finding in the Netherlands, this midge was only known to occur in North America.
