I believe that all the galls with "the four-sided angular formation, with horns springing from each angle, belong to this species. Found over the greater part of New South Wales; at Botanj, upon Eucalyptus robusta; in Victoria by C. French, junior; Mallee Scrub, South Australia, Tepper; Perth, Western Australia, Fig. 88.—Apiomorpha munita. Schrader, f Female.) Female galls very variable; sessile, base rounded, forming four angles to the apex, from each of which springs out a slender curled horn; in others a more flattened, leaf-like appendage on each angle; between the four horns the central area flattened with the small apical orifice in the centre. Some- times these galls stand out by themselves upon the twigs perfectly formed, but very often they are aborted, matted together, and mixed up with the male galls. Average height 1 inch, with the projecting horns from 2 to 4 inches in length. Male galls small irregular tubes, forming irregular masses matting the twigs together, and often springing from the horns of the female galls; in some cases forming a regular mass of pale pink tubes, like Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page imag
