Systematics: GenBank accession numbers DQ145329, DQ145441, DQ873234 and DQ868822 were previously determined to be Fiorinia euryae, but Normark, et al., 2019, referred these numbers to Fiorinia vacciniae. Fiorinia euryae is close to F. theae, but has 7 sometimes only 6 marginal gland ducts, while F. theae has only 5. F. euryae is also close to F. saprosmae, but the proboscis between the antennae of the antennae of the latter is more prominent and bears a number of small, spine-like points while that of the former is short and conical (Kuwana, 1925b).
Structure: Female scale elongate, anterior margin round, tapering towards posterior extremity, yellowish brown, thinly covered with transparent secretion which extends slightly beyond margin of exuviae. Male scale white, tricarinate, exuviae yellow. Adult female elongate, sides nearly parallel, but narrower towards anterior end, yellow (Kuwana, 1925b).
General Remarks: Descriptions and illustrations by Kuwana (1925b) and Takagi (1961).
