Remarks
- Biology: This species causes the edges of the leaves of its host plant to curl in tight rolls which form tubes in which small colonies of the insects live (Ferris in Zimmerman, 1948). This species produces its own characteristic type of leaf deformation (Beardsley, 1959b).
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Ferris in Zimmerman (1948). Good description and illustration of the adult male given Beardsley (1960).
