Remarks
- Structure: Colour photograph given by Paik (1978).
- Biology: Develops one annual generation in USA, Connecticut, two or three in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York (Kosztarab, 1996). Overwinters as first instars in bark crevices (Stimmel, 1983).
- Economic Importance: Infested Taxus needles turn yellow and drop prematurely. Plants become stunted, while heavy infestation can kill young plants (Kosztarab, 1996).
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Ferris (1950b) (as cuspidatae), Paik (1978), Kawai (1980), Danzig (1980b), Tang (1992) and by Kosztarab (1996).
