Systematics: This species resembles Mytilaspis drimydis in general outline, but abdomen is much more sharper and more pointed, with a finely serrated edge, ending in 3 minute-pointed lobes joined by a scaly process (Maskell, 1880).
Structure: Scale cover of female white, oystershell-shaped, exuvia golden-brown with a dark median area; female body and eggs purple-black. Male scale cover white, fusiform, exuvia without dark median area of female exuvia. (Henderson, 2011) Female puparium white, pyriform. Female in all stages dark in color, in last stage nearly black. Young female has elongated oval outline, little corrugated (Maskell, 1880).
Biology: Always on leaves of Metrosideros tree species (not on Metrosideros vine species).
General Remarks: Description and illustration by Maskell (1880). Redescription and illustrations of adult female, and 2nd-instar male and female nymphs in Henderson (2011).
