Structure: The adult female is enclosed in a thin, complete test of wax-like secretion. Viewed dorsally, the test is ovate with the posterior end wider. A strong median carina is present with several faint transverse ridges. In lateral view, the dorsum is highly convex, while the ventral surface is slightly concave (Lambdin & Kosztarab, 1973). The insects are thickly clustered on small twigs where they are enclosed in shelters constructed by the ant, Crematogaster dohrni.
