Cylindrococcus

Synonyms: Cylindricoccus

Wikipedia Abstract

Cylindrococcus is a genus of scale insect that induces galls on plants of the genus Allocasuarina. There are two described species of Cylindrococcus, both of which occur only in Australia. The galls of adult females (10–30 mm long) look somewhat similar to the cone-like "fruit" of the host plant and might be mistaken for such.
