Remarks
- Structure: Adult females of A. nakaharai are about 1.4–3.7 mm in body length and 0.4–1.8 mm in body width. This is a purple, legless mealybug that resides inside a felted white ovisac and produces a long wax tube from the anal opening to project droplets of honeydew away from the body (Lahey et al., 2026).
- Biology: Living in the axils of branches. (Wu, et al., 2012)
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Williams & Miller (2002).
