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.
