Prey records. Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann, 1802) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) (Modarres Awal 1997), whiteflies (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) (Abd-Rabou & Ghahari 2006), Eriosoma ulmi (Linnaeus, 1758), E. lanuginosum (Hartig, 1839) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), Panonychus ulmi (Koch, 1836) (Acari: Tetranychidae), Psyllopsis fraxini (Linnaeus, 1758) (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) (Péricart 1972), Eriosoma patchiae (Börner & Blunk 1916) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) (Saulich & Musolin 2009).

Biology. A. gallarumulmi is univoltine with overwintering adults which become active at the beginning of April after at least 75 days of low temperature. Larvae develop in the galls of their preys and new adults appear from end of June to mid August (Saulich & Musolin 2009).
