Leeuwenia tetrastigmae Mound, 2004 View in CoL

The host plant of this thrips, Tetrastigma nitens [ Vitaceae ], is widespread in rainforest areas of the Australian East coast from Sydney northwards. However, populations of the thrips and the distorted leaf-galls it induces have a patchy distribution. Adults are smaller than those of convergens , with the head and the tube shorter, and the legs uniformly yellow.
