Structure: Test of mature female subglobular in isolated examples, often with supplementary globules of lac attached to the surface. Even where the insects are crowded together and the tests have become confluent, the original form can be roughly distinguished. Colour bright fulvous or castaneous. Apex pierced with the usual three apertures, the two stigmatic apertures closer together than their distance from the anal orifice: the anal aperture the largest surrounded by a prominent rim; the stigmatic apertures small and slightly sunk, usually blocked by white pulverulent wax (Green, 1903a).
General Remarks: Description and illustration of the adult female by Chamberlin (1923) and by Varshney (1976, 2005).
