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 not papillose; ventral spine-like setae never in complete row across segment VIII and absent from segment IX; hind legs >1200ยต long; 9-locular pores not predominant on body; venter sometimes with spine-like setae on posterolateral margin of segment VIII (Gullan, 1984). The eastern and western forms of A. strombylosa sens. lat. of Gullan (1984) are clearly different biological species. Gullan (1984) hypothesised that the morphological variation might be due to geographical variation. However, specimens of "eastern" and "western" forms are sometimes geographically close to each other They are highly divergent in allozymes and in DNA regions sequenced, and form reciprocally monophyletic groups in phylogenies using 18S and COI. (Fan, et aL 2025)
- Structure: Female gall subspheroidal surface covered with irregular protuberances or conical projections, apex often distinctly truncate, sometimes depressed. Male galls tubular, apex dilated. There is a western and eastern form (Gullan, 1984).
- Biology: Female gall is produced on stems of host. Male gall is produced on both leaf surfaces, petioles and stems (Gullan, 1984). Cook & Gullan (2002) provide information on gall and insect development under glasshouse conditions (summarized in table 2, page 262).
- General Remarks: Described, illustrated and photographed by Gullan (1984).
