Remarks
- Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female is characterized by having: abdominal segment IX longer ventrally than dorsally; abdomen curvilinearly tapered to base of anal lobes; spiracles fimbriate trilabiate; anal ring not invaginated; tibiotarsus never falciform (Gullan, 1984).
- Structure: Female gall 4-sided, very large (sometimes up to 20 cm in length), with 2 attenuate, sometimes curled, blade-like appendages. Gall body with ridged corners where sides meet. Male fall 4-sided with ridged corners. Apex with 2 opposite sides elongated to form flattened extensions, sometimes these partially concealing circular apical orifice (Gullan, 1984).
- Biology: Female gall found on stems singly or in colonies with male galls. Male gall found on leaves or the blade-like appendages of the female gall, possibly 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: Adult female, female gall, and male gall described by Gullan (1984) also with illustration of adult female; also described and illustrated by Froggatt (1931). Photo of gall (Froggatt 1930).
