Systematics: The species epithet setiger is both an adjective and a noun. Here it is treated as a noun in apposition, and retained as setiger.
Structure: Maskell (1897) described the scale cover: "Female scale very dark-brown or intense dull-black; circular; convex; diameter about 1/11 inch; larval exuviae central, very small, forming a minute apical shiny-black boss; texture of scale thick and solid; on turning it over the inside is smooth and black, with reddish edge. Male scale light-brown, subelliptical, flattish; length about 1/25 inch; exuviae yellowish". McKenzie (1950) described the scale cover: "Female scale circular, with a diameter of approximately 2 mm, convex thick and solid in texture, exuvia subcentral and shiny black or covered by a grayish secretion; male scale, according to Kuwana, is "light brown, subelliptical flattish, exuvia yellow, length about 1 mm".
Biology: Presumably occurring on the leaves of the infested host (McKenzie, 1950).
General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Kuwana (1902, 1933) and by McKenzie (1950).
