Asphondylia is a cosmopolitan genus of gall midges in the family Cecidomyiidae. All species in this genus induce galls on plants, especially on flowers and flower buds.[1][2] There are over 300 described species in Asphondylia, with many more likely to be discovered and described, especially in the southern hemisphere.[1][2]

Within the genus, characteristics of the larvae and pupae are often most useful for distinguishing between species since adults of most species look very similar to one another.[3] The species inducing a given gall can sometimes be identified based on the shape and placement of the gall in combination with the identity of the host plant.[2]
