Diagnosis

Diagnosis based on Heie (1994, 2004). Apterae 1.3–1.9 mm, green-olive-brown-reddish. Cuticle rough, squamous or nodulose, particularly on head and antennae. Antennal tubercles well developed, their inner sides converging. Siphunculi squamose, from a thick base narrowing to a slender apical half; aperture small, terminal. Monoecious. Lives on basal parts of grasses and may, in addition to grasses, also feed on mosses.

Recorded hosts

Holman (2009) reports Hyocomium armoricum and Hypnum cupressiforme (Hypnaceae) as hosts and Heie (2004) Bryum pallens (Bryaceae) .
