Remarks

• Systematics: "The genus Apiomorpha, (formerly Brachyscelis), is known only from Eucalyptus species (family Myrtaceae). The galls of B. beyeriae which Tepper illustrated, do not resemble those of Apiomorpha; they are probably not coccoid galls. This was recognized by Froggatt (1894a), who strongly criticized Tepper's reference to brachyscelid galls on Beyeria opaca" (Gullan, 1984).
