Remarks

• Structure: Takagi (1995) described this species "on the basis of larval forms purported to belong to 4 onthogenetic courses". Takagi (1995) suggested that "the larval polymorphism is associated with exploitation of more than a single feeding site provided by the gall's structure".
• Biology: This species induces the formation of galls on twigs of the host plant (Takagi, 1995).
