March 2009. Galls from citrus found in Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia. One gall measured 2 inches and was oval. It was thought to be caused by Bruchophagus fellis which is present in Australia. But according to the literature the galls of B. fellis are oblong, not round. No holes were present, nor were there larvae inside. Could it be physiological?

A member replied that galls of B. fellis on lemons in Victoria, Austrralia, do not look like the picture shown, so it may well be a physiological problem as suggested.
