Remarks

• Systematics: The first-instar nymphs of C. lynnae are very similar to those of Exallococcus laureliae in having conspicuous enlarged dorsal setae, anal lobe each with a longitudinal fold, multilocular sessile pores restricted to the mediolateral areas of the venter, posterior suranal setae unmodified and anterior suranal setae with basal dermal sclerotization (Hodgson & Miller, 2002).
• Structure: Slide-mounted adult female with shallow anal cleft; dorsum with enlarged setae (excluding marginal setae) slightly curved, of one size, arranged in segmental rows over most of surface. Anal lobes platelike, each lobe with enlarged seta on each outer margin; each posterior suranal seta slightly enlarged, with 4 or 5 microtubular ducts on each lobe (Hodgson & Miller, 2002).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration of adult and second-instar females and first-instar embryo by Hodgson & Miller (2002).
