The immatures induce leaf galls (Fig. 287–292) similar to those of Drepanoza canariensis (see description []).

[The immatures induce a closed, light-to-dark green gall. The galls are globular or conical on the adaxial leaf side, and tubular with many white trichomes apically on the abaxial leaf surface. All dissected galls were unilocular and each contained a single immature. After adult emergence, the galls undergo gradual desiccation while the leaf remains attached to the plant.]
