Remarks

• Systematics: The original description was based on material collected from sugar-cane at Queensland, Australia, but later it was recorded from grasses in Florida, USA. Therefore, Jakubski (1965) assumed that it was accidentally introduced from Florida to Australia.
• Structure: Adult female wingless; body plump, 1.5 mm long, bright pink with front legs enlarged and modified for digging. Nymphs found in soil, each up to 1.5 mm long, enclosed in a hard, globular, pearly white cyst. Males are unknown. (J.H. Chong in T. Kondo & G.Watson, 2022)
• General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by McDaniel (1966) and by Foldi (2005a).
