Leeuwenia polyosmae Mound, 2004

Described originally from two females taken in a leaf gall on Polyosma cunninghamii [ Grossulariaceae] near Brisbane, Queensland, this thrips was found subsequently on the same plant species in rainforests at Lamington near the border with New South Wales. Some of the galls were a remarkable blue colour (Fig. 6), and the species is unusual within the genus in having a fore tarsal tooth, in both sexes.
