Remarks

• Structure: Female scale circular, rather solid, slightly convex, with the exuviae in the centre; colour varying from yellow to (less frequently) white; exuviae yellow; diameter about 1/24 inch (Maskell, 1891). Male puparium rather more elongated than that of the female, not carinated; texture thinner; colour whitish; pellicle yellow, near the middle. (Maskell, 1891). Compared to the type series specimens observed in Henderson, 2011, the number and distribution of perivulvar pores varied widely in different collection localities. Perivulvar pores were totally absent in all of the females from Lake Sylvester on Coprosma cheesemanii, but in a second collection from Lake Sylvester where no host was recorded, 1 female has a total of 18 pores in 4 groups whereas the other 3 females each had 16-21 pores in 5 groups; the 15 females from Cass each had a total of 21-36 pores in 5 normal groups, likewise the female from Springfield and the female from between Lakes Pukaki and Tekapo had 25 and 32 pores respectively in 5 groups. In all other respects the female morphology from these various collections agreed with the type material.
• General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Maskell (1891) and by Borchsenius & Williams (1963). Redescription and illustrations in Henderson, 2011.
