Structure: Female scale about 1 mm in diameter, strongly convex, nearly circular; exuviae covered, but covering secretion easily rubbed off, exposing the lemon-yellow to brown exuviae; secretion covering the larval exuviae sometimes more dense and adherent, thus sometimes giving the scale an annulated appearance due to the second exuvia showing through the section surrounding the larval skin; secretionary supplement normally white, sometimes slightly yellowed; ventral scale inconsiderable. Scale of male about half the size of the female scale, and of the normal oval shape (Marlatt, 1908c).
