Structure: Female scale of a dull dirty-yellow or brown colour, frequently obscured by black fungus; subcircular, diameter about 1/12 inch at full development; convex, and usually somewhat conical; the larval pellicle is black, situated at the apex of the cone; the second pellicle is very inconspicuous, and it is difficult to make out its dimensions, but close examination shows that it occupies about half the scale; the surface of the scale is finely striated. Male scale subcircular, of a grey or bluish-grey colour; rather convex, but less so than that of the female; the scale is less black than in the female, and is not placed centrally; diameter of scale about 1/20 inch (Maskell, 1895b).
Biology: Maskell (1895b) reported that female scales were on the twigs, while male scales on the leaves.
