Systematics: This species is distinguishable from Cameronaspis linderae and C. pustulifera by the roundish median lobes and the much reduced seconds lobes. It is hardly distinguishable in the numbers of the spiracular and perivulvar disk pores, but differs in the macroducts and gland spines tending to be fewer. It is clearly distinguishable in the second instar female and second instar male (Takagi et al., 1988).
Structure: Female tests covered by the thin upper epidermal layer of the host plant. Male tests white, flocculent (Takagi et al., 1988)
Biology: Females were found mainly on branches, often burrowing under a thin epidermal layer, and males on the lower surface of the leaves. Most female tests were hidden under mat-like mycelia of a fungus (probably belonging to Septobasidium)(Takagi, 2005)
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration of females and description of second instar female by Takagi et al. (1988).
