Systematics: Henderson, 2011, considered Fiorinia drimydis a nomen dubium because the only material that she found available was 2nd-instar male nymphs of an unidentifiable Leucaspis species.
Structure: Female puparium is straight, long and narrow, dirty white, sometimes brown, yellow at the end with the discarded pellicles, which are oval, narrowing somewhat at the tip. Adult female is dull red, about twice as long as broad (Maskell, 1879).
General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Maskell (1879).
