Systematics: This species, in the puparium, resembles that of Fiorinia stricta, but the absence of abdominal lobes in the adult separates it entirely (Maskell, 1897).
Structure: Female puparium snowy white, but clouded by the second pellicle beneath the secretion giving it a dark brown tint, elongate, narrow. Adult female brown, without any lobes, but the pygidium finely serrate on margins, and two fine hairs at apex; no spinnerets but small circular openings within the margin (Froggatt, 1914).
General Remarks: Description and illustration by Maskell (1897).
