Remarks
- Systematics: This genus is easily recognized by the extraordinary development of the hind legs which are very large and elongate and protrude way beyond the posterior margin of the body, they contain numerous translucent pores even on the tarsus. It also has enlarged setae, reduced but segmented antennae, anterior legs reduced or absent (Ferris, 1957b).
- Structure: Adult female body outline circular to elliptical, dorsum usually smaller than venter, especially at maturity, with whole of dorsum, a sclerotised part of it, or abdominal apex plagging gall oriface. Abdomen not tapered.
Adult male antenna 10-segmented. Abdomen not elongated. Gland pouches present, each with pair of setae.
First-instar nymph anterior margin of head incised at midline. Each spiracle with one trilocular pore next to opening. one submedial longitudinal row of dorsal setae on each side of body. Antennae 4-segmented with 4 fleshy setae on apical segment. (Hardy & Gullan, 2010)
- Biology: Forming galls on the stems and leaves of Australian Eucalyptus species (Beardsley, 1984). Galls on leaves; each typically globular, conical or hamispherical, rarely pit-like, with small circular slit-like or fissured opening, often on upper surface. (Hardy & Gullan, 2010)
- General Remarks: Generic characters described by Ferris (1957b). Photographs of galls in Hardy & Gullan, 2010.
