Systematics: Borchsenius (1966: 305) listed this species as a synonym of Hemiberlesia diffinis (Newstead) but Miller & Davidson (1998) did not accept it.
Structure: Female scale usually circular, 1.25 mm in diameter, though sometimes slightly elongate; strongly convex; exuviae central, covered, but the granular covering easily rubbed off, leaving exposed the yellow or orange exuviae; ventral scale white, conspicuous (Houser 1918).
Biology: The scales are piled one upon another giving the bark the appearance of bearing scattered nodules (Houser, 1918).
General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Houser (1918).
