Structure: Adult female body elongate, with the lateral margins nearly parallel; pygidium broadly obdeltate. Prepygidial derm membranous; pygidium largely sclerotic dorsally, the ventral surface sclerotized towards the apex. Antennae situated within the frontal margin, separated from each other by a space narrower than the frame of the mouth-parts; at times with a small tubercle between them. (Takagi, 2003) Second-instar female similar to that of Bayuraspis luzonensis, with the median trullae nearly triangular as in the latter . Second-instar male homomorphic, very similar to the adult and second-instar females in the shape of the median trullae. First-instar nymph characterized, above all, by the body extraordinarily elongate, the antennae with 6 segments, and the presence of an interantennal tubercle. (Takagi, 2003)
Biology: Females and males occurring on the lower surface of the leaves, burrowing under the tomentum. Second-instar exuvial casts of the female with the dorsum heavily sclerotized and black. Male tests white, with the caudal end exposed from the tomentum. (Takagi, 2003)
