Biology: The species occurs on branches of Populus euphratica (= Populus diversifolia), forming dense colonies covered with firm wax secretions. Every female is entirely covered with such dense cover, except in the area of the anal opening. In July, I.V. Rozanov simultaneously observed in colonies adult females, eggs, and 1st-instar larvae.
