Structure: Scale of adult female quite large, 2.5 - 4 mm in diameter, subcircular. Pale gray in colour but quite dark due to the particles attached to it. Slightly convex, and often aggregated together into compact clusters that also include the scales of the male. Scale of the male elongate, 3 mm long, but otherwise similar to the female (Hodgson, 1967b).
General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Hodgson (1967b).
