Remarks
- Structure: Scale of the female blackish and with somewhat lightened, central exuviae, appearing rather elongate, probably due to colour of needle upon which the insect is feeding; scale of the male lighter, elongate oval, exuvia central (McKenzie, 1963).
- Biology: Occurring on the needles, usually hidden at base within the needle sheath (McKenzie, 1963).
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by McKenzie (1963) and by Kosztarab (1996). Description and illustration of female and male nymphs and male pupa and prepupa by Stoetzel & Davidson (1974a).
