Apiomorpha conica (Froggatt, 1893) (Eriococcidae: Apiomorpha)

Brachyscelis conica Froggatt 1893: 365. Type data: AUSTRALIA: New South Wales, Yass, Goulburn and Cooma on E. viminalis, by W. W. Froggatt; also, Victoria, on Eucalyptus sp., by F. O. Hill. Unknown type status, unknown, accepted valid name Notes: There is a slide in the USNM labeled as cotype but it is of uncertain authenticity. It contains the abdominal segment nine and anal lobes of an adult female. The slide is labeled "Apiomorpha/conica(Frog)/Cotype/on Eucalyptus sp./N.S.W. W.W.W. Froggatt Coll. #30" Illustr.

Apiomorpha similis Rübsaamen 1894: 210. junior synonym (discovered by Frogga1898a, 493). Notes: Types of Rübsaamen in the ZMHB apparently were destroyed during World War II (Gullan, 1984).

Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female is characterized by having: abdominal segment IX with ventral and dorsal lengths subequal, not fused with abdominal segment VIII; abdominal segment IX with posterior margin fused with anal lobes; body not slender; dorsum of head and thorax without spine-like setae; segment IX and anal lobes robust, sclerotized on mature individuals; segment IX and anal lobes with about 7 spine-like setae, segment VIII with 2-97 such setae; spine-like setae present in rows on dorsum of segments II-IV; hind legs 1120-2100µ long (Gullan, 1984).
Structure: Female gall variable in shape, ellipsoidal to obovoid, often fusiform, apex truncate. Male gall tubular, apex dilated (Gullan, 1984).
Biology: Female gall occurs on stem, but occasionally occurring amongst buds or fruit of an umbel or on the side of the bud. Male gall occurs on both sides of leaves near midrib, also on stems (Gullan, 1984). Cook & Gullan (2002) provide information on gall and insect development under glasshouse conditions (summarized in table 2, page 262).
General Remarks: The most comprehensive treatment of this species is by Gullan (1984) who described the adult female, female gall, and male gall and provided photos of the galls.
