Remarks
- Systematics: The lectotype designation by Williams & Granara de Willink (1992) was not indicated on the slide (D.R. Miller, xii.1998, personal information to Yair Ben-Dov), therefore Miller & Polavarapu (1997) overlooked it, and also designated a lectotype. The latter designation was invalid, while the 1992 designation was properly indicated on the labels.
- Biology: Occurring inside the thorns of the host plant (Morrison, 1929).
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Ferris (1953a), Beardsley (1965c) (as D. bispinosus), Williams (1970DJ), Williams & Granara de Willink (1992) and by Granara de Willink (2009).
