Remarks

• Structure: Female scale 1.5-2.0 mm long, elongate, flat, pupillarial, with only one apparent exuviae, off white, but often appearing black because the hardened second exuvial skin can be seen through the thin, nearly transparent white wax covering. Wax cover is fragile and may be easily lost. Male scale elongate, white (Gill, 1997).
• General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Ferris (1941d).
