Chetverikov & Sukhareva (2009) described two species— Sierraphytoptus setiger (Nalepa, 1894) and Sierraphytoptus ambulans Chetverikov & Sukhareva, 2009 . Sierraphytoptus setiger is noted as inducing leaf galls on Fragaria viridis while S. ambulans is described as a vagrant species which is mainly found on Fragaria vesca L. and rarely on F. viridis Weston. According to Eglītis (1957) , the same species in Latvia produce red galls on F. viridis . Petrova et al. (2000) reported that S. setiger was not observed on cultivated strawberries in Latvia .
