Remarks
- Systematics: The adult males of A. munita tereticornuta are similar to those of A. ovicola in having well-developed caudal extensions on abdominal segment VIII. They both also have: (i) fleshy setae on the scape, coxa and femur; (ii) small pores on head; (iii) loculate pores on prothorax and mesothorax, and (iv) long dorsal abdominal setae. However, it is thought likely that A. munita tereticornuta refers to multiple species. (Hodgso, 2020)
- Structure: Mature galls four sided with cylindrical or narrow, blade-like appendages which continue basally as indistinct corner ridges on the body of the gall (Gullan, 1984).
- General Remarks: First instar illustrated by Ferris (1957b), adult female described and illustrated by Gullan (1984) with photographs of male and female galls.
