Remarks
- Systematics: Kirkaldy (1904) proposed a new name cockerelliana for albus of Cockerell (1893) on the ground that it was preoccupied by Mytilaspis alba Maskell. Since albus of Cockerell was described in 1893 and alba of Maskell is 1896, the change is invalid. This species resembles A. solidaginis, but is readily recognizable by the entire absence of the perivulvar pores and the low pygidial lobes (Ferris, 1941d).
- Structure: Scale of female slightly brown in color. Adult female about 2mm long, quite slender; derm at maturity apparently remaining membranous except for the pygidium (Ferris, 1941d).
- Biology: Eggs hatch in four days. Crawlers become adults in 20 to 25 days. Females begin to lay eggs about two days after reaching maturity (Anantanarayanan et al., 1957).
- Economic Importance: This species is a serious pest to cassava (Bellotti, 1978). Miller & Davidson (1990) also list this insect as a pest.
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Ferris (1941d).
