(ed.), Fruit Fly Expert Identification System and Systematic Information Database. |journal=Myia |date=1999 |volume=9 |pages=vii + 524}} It induces galls by laying an egg on the bud of a Ericameria nauseosa plant, which forms a gall that the larvae develops within through the fall.{{cite journal |last1=Baine |first1=Quinlyn |last2=Casares |first2=Emily E |last3=Hughes |first3=Daniel W W |last4=Martinson |first4=Vincent G |last5=Martinson |first5=Ellen O |title=Arthropod communities associated with gall-inducing Aciurina bigeloviae and Aciurina trixa (Diptera: Tephritidae) in New Mexico |journal=Annals of the Entomological Society of America |date=11 December 2023 |volume=117 |issue=2 |pages=107–117 |doi=10.1093/aesa/saad037}}
