(Trichogrammatidae), and the egg with an orange apex has been parasitized by Gonatocerus sp. (Mymaridae). (b) Aphelinoidea sp. Exit holes on the inner surface of a gall and an adult female next to the hole (inset). (c) Exit holes of Gonatocerus sp. on the outer surface of a gall; note that one hole is on the commissural area of a valve. (d) An adult male Gonatocerus sp. reared from galls of S. viridis. Scale bars: 0.5 mm ((a), (d)), 1 mm ((b), (c)).
