Remarks
- Structure: Illustration of female scale cover by Adachi & Fullaway (1953). The female scale is pale yellow to white; somewhat circular, 1 by 0.8 mm; exuviae slightly concentric (Adachi & Fullaway, 1953).
- Economic Importance: Cohic (1959) reports this species as a serious pest on A. columnaris (now A. cookii) on the extremities of the branches, causing desiccation (Williams & Watson, 1988).
