This is the common typical species, often covering the foliage of Eucalyftus capitdlata and several other species on the coastal districts, and found on Eucahjinus roitrata, Hay, Rounded green perfectly round totheattachmentto the leaf; they vary in size up to half of an inch in diameter. The basal opening is situated in the centre of a reddish wart on the underside of the leaf. The male galls much smaller, resemble those of the females, but are not so regular in Fig. 106.—Opisthof!celis sitbrotunda, Selirader Adult coccid reddish yellow to brown, covered with fine close hairs and white meal; almost round, but tapering slightly to the anal tail; dorsal surface rounded ; abdominal segments well defined ; no fore or middle legs ; hind pair well developed; tarsal joint as long as or longer than the tibia. The whole insect fitting close within the gall chamber, with the peg-like anal appendage closing the basal orifice. Schrader briefly mentions a second species under the name of Opisthoscelis gracilis, but I think that it was only a smaller or immature form of 0. suhrotunda, as the galls are very variable, even upon the same trees, 162.
