Remarks
- Systematics: This species is distinct because of the strong development of the second pygidial lobes (Rao & Ferris, 1952). In the original publication, this species was authored by Ferris, but in a subsequent paper (Ferris, 1953) the species was credited to both Rao & Ferris. This authorship can not be accepted and the original authorship stands (Ali, 1970).
- Biology: This species occurs on the bark of twigs, scales more or less hidden under the epidermis but where exposed, appearing dark brown (Rao & Ferris, 1952).
- General Remarks: Description and illustration by Rao & Ferris (1952).
