Remarks
- Biology: Occurring on the inner surfaces of the leaves of the host plant. Egg masses were embedded in mealy threads of the ovisacs. Fresh eggs were pale yellow and elongated. The eggs were laid in batches in the same ovisac. The prolifically emerging crawlers were yellow, highly active and moved in groups.
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Williams (1970DJ), Ali (1975) and by Avasthi & Shafee (1987). Good description of the adult female given by Green (1908a), Maxwell (1908) and Ali (1970a).
