This species is common in the neighbourhood of Sydney on the smaller bushes of Eucalyptus sieberiana and other species; also collected in Dau- denong Ranges, Victoria, by C. French, junior, upon E. amygdalina. Fig. 93. —Apiomorpha pileata, Schrader. There are two very well-defined forms of female galls, but there are no specific differences in the enclosed adult female coccid. In the first form, the female galls are slender, turned down, springing? from the branchlets; rounded at the base, oval; rather uniform in diameter to the rounded apex, which is truncate at the apex with the two sides forming a double lip, the apical orifice in the form of a narrow slit between them. In the immature forms, while growing, there is a pointed, fleshy cap co'cring the apex, but as the galls mature they become long-tailed processes, dry up and fall away from the top of the gall, exposing the apical slit and ti]). Average length, 1 inch; diameter, about | inch.
