Remarks

• Systematics: GeneBank Accession No. AB439514 (Yokogawa & Yahara, 2009).
• Structure: Body crimson, length exceeding 6 mm. Antenna 9-segmented. Quinquelocular pores very scanty on thorax and abdomen. (Danzig, 2012)
• Biology: Occurring on the branches and stems of the host plant. Occurring near the tips of the twigs. Unfertilized females overwinter on the basal part of a trunk and in cracks of the bark. The overwintered insects pass onto branches in spring. The emergence of larvae lasts from July (mass) to September. (Danzig, 2012)
• Economic Importance: In forests, only single individuals of this species usually occur, while in the ornamental plantings, these insects reach great abundance and damage lilacs and ashtrees, causing drying of the leaves, shoots, and branches and pollution of the plants with honeydew. (Danzig, 2012)
• General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Kanda (1934), Danzig (1980b) and by Tang & Li (1988). Good description of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1949), Kawai (1980) and by Tang (1992).Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Ferris (1950).
