Abstract
Guar, Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub., is a drought-tolerant summer annual legume that is cultured in Texas and Oklahoma for its seed. Cecidomyia texana (Felt) was discovered infesting guar buds in 1969, and Asphondylia sp., the buds and young pods in 1970. Attack by (C. texana effects bud abortion, and Asphondylia sp., bud and pod gall formation. C. texana occurs in Bee and Collin counties and generally throughout the Texas Rolling Plains and southwestern Oklahoma. Asphondylia sp. is tound over most of northern Texas Rolling Plains. Miscellaneous cecidomyiids associated with plants in or adjacent to guar fields in northcentral Texas include Anarete buscki (Felt), Contarinia sorghicola (Coquillett), 3 other Contarinia spp., and one Porricondyla sp.
