Leeuwenia diospyri Mound, 2004 View in CoL

This species was described from a series of both sexes taken in curled leaf galls on Diospyros pentamera [ Ebenaceae ] in coastal rain forest at Taree, New South Wales. However, it was found subsequently in similar leaf-roll galls on the same plant species at Lamington in southeast Queensland. It is unusual amongst members of the genus in having the tube rather short, scarcely six times as long as the basal width.
