Remarks
- Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female is characterized by having: abdominal segment IX longer ventrally than dorsally; abdomen attenuate not curvilinearly tapered to base of anal lobes; anal ring not concealed by sclerotized shield; anal lobes papillose; spine-like setae in medial cluster, often with well defined posteromarginal row on dorsum of segments II-VIII; larger dorsal spine-like setae forming mediolongitudinal band on thorax and abdomen; dorsomedial thoracic spine-like setae clustered between intersegmental lines (Gullan, 1984).
In 2017, Mills, Gullan and Cook reviewed evidence from publications of Schrader and Froggatt that indicated that Froggatt (1893) described specimens of B. ovicola as his new species B. minor. We also argue that Froggatt’s (1893) concept of B. ovicola differs from Schrader’s (1863a) original concept of B. ovicola, and needs to be recognized as a separate species. Thus, many citations described A. ovicola and A. minor, and the species now named
was described as A. ovicola. (See the above from Gullan, 1984) - Structure: Female gall ovoid to fusiform, apex rounded to distinctly truncate. Male galls tubular with apex sometimes slightly dilated, squat (Gullan, 1984).
- Biology: Female gall is found on stems and occasionally on the calyx tube of a bud or fruit, occurring singly or in aggregations often with male galls. Male galls are mainly found on leaves, but sometimes on the stem (Gullan, 1984).
- General Remarks: Descriptions of the adult female, female gall, male gall, and a photo of the galls are presented by Gullan (1984) in addition to a line drawing of the female.
