Remarks
- Systematics: The author was incorrectly cited, in most pre-2000 publications, as "Fonscolombe". The correct name is "Boyer de Fonscolombe".
- Structure: Adult female 3-5 mm long; flattened and elongate. Ovipositing female completely enveloped with a long, cottony white ovisac. Colour photograph of adult female by Kosztarab & Kozar (1988) and by Foldi (2003a). Slide-mounted adult female body oval, without stigmatic clefts; anal cleft very shallow, about same length as anal plates (Moghaddam & Watson 2024).
- Biology: Develops two annual generations in the Republic of Georgia (Hadzibejli, 1973) and in USA, California (Gill, 1988).
- Economic Importance: Natural enemies listed by Borchsenius (1957).
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Williams & Kosztarab (1972), Danzig (1980b), Kosztarab & Kozar (1988), Gill (1988), Tang (1991), Hodgson (1994a) and by Kosztarab (1996). Good description of the adult female and first-instar nymph given by Borchsenius (1957).
