Structure: Female scale consisting principally of a delicate film lining the cavity of the gall, the pellicles forming an operculum at its base. Male scale not observed; but probably occupying shallow depressions on the surface of the leaf as in the type (Green, 1905a).
Biology: Forming pit galls on the under surface of the leaves, the opening of the galls being closed by the scale (Ferris, 1941e).
General Remarks: Illustration of the female pygidium given by Munting (1971a).
