Structure: Adult female pyriform, mostly membranous. The shape of this species is proportionately longer than that shown by the species described by Ferris (1942), of which only Ancepaspis edentata has an entire caudal margin. A. longicauda differs from this species in having a long densely sclerotized posterior caudal portion, and not having an anteriorly arched thickened dorsal ridge (Brimblecombe, 1959b).
Biology: Insects occur singly or in small groups in forks of branchlets or in crevices of the rough bark (Brimblecombe, 1959b).
