Remarks
- Systematics: P. cinnamomi is near P. aonidiformis, but differs in the much broader pectinae and in the character of the processes on the margin of the pygidium as well as in the prominent, gland-pore projections (Rutherford, 1915).
- Structure: Female scale golden yellow, with black area just caudal of the 1st exuviae; some with black area in the middle of the 1st exuviae; both exuviae covered with a thin, white, wax. Adult female broader than long, pygidium somewhat retracted. 3 pairs of lobes placed far apart. Median lobes have a deep notch on each side near the apex, which is narrow (Rutherford, 1915).
- General Remarks: Detailed description by Rutherford (1915).
