Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae cylindrical, sides straight, apices slightly rounded, setae all approximately same size, scattered over surface; body shape unusual, anterior abdominal segments overlying posterior segments; macrotubular ducts confined to last 5 abdominal segments; microtubular ducts medium in length, without sclerotized area (Hoy, 1962). Madarococcus papillosus is most similar to M. intermedius. (hardy, et al., 2008)
Structure: Females pale green in color and not forming a sac (Hoy, 1962). Adult females of M. papillosus are pale green to pale or dark brown with a pale creamish dorsomedial longitudinal stripe and are covered with dorsal glassy wax tubes that each enclose a spiky seta. Small nymphs are pink to pale orange in life. (Hardy, et al., 2008)
