Structure: Adult female enclosed in the large second stage nymph, which is olive green in color. Adult female is subcircular and membranous. In some specimens, the lobes may be twice as long as wide with the indentations on a somewhat blunt apex. The lobes may also be slightly constricted basally on the inner margin. There may be marginal incisions on each side of the pair of lobes, making the lobes appear as surmounting an apical pygidial projection (Brimblecombe, 1959b).
Biology: Insects mostly single, embedded partly or wholly in the copious corky tissue on branches of the host (Brimblecombe, 1959b).
