Asphondylia websteri Feel是首次从美洲原生寄主帕金森和霍霍巴上发现的。在此之前，这种明显的美洲原住民仅从紫花苜蓿和瓜尔豆中得知，这两个物种是北美特有的。如此巨大的寄主差异在其他方面对北美Asphondylia spp是未知的。这一发现排除了A.websteri作为澳大利亚针叶帕金森病生防剂的考虑。
Asphondylia websteri Felt is reported for the first time from native American hosts, Parkinsonia and jojoba. Previously, this apparently native American gall midge was known only from alfalfa and guar, two species exotic to North America. Such a wide disparity of hosts is otherwise unknown for North American Asphondylia spp. This discovery excludes A. websteri from consideration as a biocontrol agent of Parkinsonia aculeata in Australia.
