Remarks
- Structure: Female scale slender, flat, brown, yellowish or white. Adult female with median pygidial lobes very small, exceeded by or scarcely equalling in length the 2nd lobes, their mesal margins closely appressed. Median lobes distinctive, each being apically acute and with its lateral margin slanting and slightly twice notched. 2nd lobes well developed, mesal lobule expanded apically, but not hatchet-shaped, outer lobule also well developed but shorter. 3rd lobes represented merely by slight serrations of the pygidial margin (Ferris & Rao, 1947).
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Ferris & Rao (1947).
