Apiomorpha jucundacrispi is a species of scale insect that induces galls on species of Eucalyptus jucunda in Western Australia^[1]. The female induces a large gall (to 3 cm) that looks like it is covered in woody moss. This wears off in older galls which then look egg-shaped with a rough surface. Males induce a small tube-like gall covered in woody projections.

Morphology[edit]

Like females of other scale insects, those of A. jucundacrispi do not have wings.

Systematics[edit]

Apiomorpha jucundacrispi is currently placed in the Apiomorpha hilli species group, on the basis of morphology of adult females and DNA-based phylogenies that show it is closely related to other species of Apiomorpha that induce galls on Eucalyptus subgenus Eudesmia^[1].
