Structure: Colour illustration of the female scale cover by Green (1896e). Female scale very large; flat; oval in front, greatly elongated posteriorly; the supplemental portion usually narrower than the other; exuviae yellow, always more or less concealed by secretion; approximately central in early adult stage, subsequently becoming eccentric by the backward extension of the scale; ventral scale as well developed as dorsal, and bearing what appear to be the ventral halves of exuviae; the dorsal and ventral scale are so much alike that it is often difficult to decide which is the dorsal and which ventral after it has been detached from the stem; colour brownish-white or brownish-fulvous; length 3.5-7.5 mm; greatest breadth about 3.5 mm; male scale not known (Green, 1896e).
General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Green (1896e), Chou (1985, 1986) and by Ben-Dov (1988b).
