Countries: 2

Structure: Female test elongate, with a median ridge, dirty brown, pale brown or nearly white (Figs. 38, 39). Male test felt-like in texture, white, with a median carina Female body elongate, fusiform, attaining about 1.3mm in length, membranous except for pygidium, which is weakly sclerotized, rather narrow, nearly triangular, and slightly roundish along the margin (the boundary between the pygidium and prepygidial abdomen is clear between abd V and VI in the median to submedian area; in the submarginal to marginal area, however, this boundary becomes obscure and the pygidium appears to include abd IV and V). Asymmetric when fully grown: the side facing towards the middle of the leaf is more or less expanded laterally, while the opposite side, lying just on the extreme margin of the leaf, tends to be undergrown especially on the ventral surface of the prepygidial abdominal segments (so that, in slide-mounted specimens, the lateral region of the dorsal surface turns around to take the ventral position).(Takagi, 1999a)
Biology: Females occurring on the upper surface of the leaves and males occurring on the lower surface of the leaves; (Takagi, 1999a)
