Structure: Illustration of the female scale by Froggatt (1914). The adult female scales are scattered over the branchlets and are often broader at the base than the diameter of the branchlet, so that they almost curve round it; general colour, dark biscuit brown, with the apex often covered with a rounded cap of white secretion, completely hiding the large flattened rounded brown and yellow exuviae; broadly rounded at the base, very conical, with the apical portion often curving over; diameter 1/12 inch (Froggatt, 1914). Insects singly on branchlets of host; female scale convex to conical, basally curved round the branchlet, 2.5 to 3 mm in length; colour fawn; second exuviae whitish, surmounted by the yellow first exuviae (Brimblecombe, 1958).
