Moulton described this species from “numerous females and males taken from galls on leaves of Bursaria spinosa ” near Sydney. The Girault description was: “As bursariae but wings very short, p.o. barely as long as distance from eye, antennals 3-5 pale base only, p.ls. unequal. A male on Rumex, Healesville, Vic., R. Kelly, Jan. 18, 1925.” Although not commonly collected, Priesner (1928) recorded the species from B. spinosa at Healesville, Victoria together with Teuchothrips bursariicola, and more recently considerable samples, but only of micropterae, have been taken from leaf galls on B. spinosa at Montmorency and Tarrawarra in Victoria.
