Feeding causes a greyish colouration of
the leaves and eventually leaf death and
abscission. The species is not known to
transmit viruses [...] to terminal leaves and

galls and migrate [...] spots on leaves. Feeding also results in
a specific, directed growth reaction that
causes the leaf to roll, or the leaf may
fold along the midrib.
