Remarks
- Systematics: In the broad, lobe-like pectinae that form the boundary of the notch containing the pore the insect bears a strong resemblance to species of Fiorina. The cover, however, is not quite closed and the broad, marginal pores suggest a relationship to Parlatoria (Rutherford, 1914).
- Structure: Female scale about 1.0 mm long, long and narrow, black. The 2nd exuviae is about twice as long as the 1st. A slight, white, marginal secretion. Ventral scale more or less complete, incomplete at posterior end. Adult female is long and narrow (Rutherford, 1914).
- General Remarks: Detailed description by Rutherford (1914).
