Systematics: Fiorinia saprosmae can be distinguished from F. fioriniae by the absence of lateral lobes on the pygidium; by the less conspicuous tubular spinnerets; by the structure of the antennae in the female and the presence between them of a prominent chitinous tubercle (Green, 1896e).
Structure: Female puparium oblong oval, narrow margin of colorless transparent secretion surrounding the large second exuviae. Orange-yellow. Male puparium opaque white, obscurely tricarinate; exuviae pale yellow. Adult female pale yellow, pygidium brownish; margin flattened and almost colorless (Green, 1896e).
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Green (1896e).
