Systematics: P. brideliae is related to P. strobilanthi Green, but differs in that the 2nd lobes are larger and the scale is more elongate, and may be easily separated from P. tenera Green by possessing eminent gland spines on the pygidium and also by the 2nd lobes not extending inwards (Takahashi, 1933).
Structure: Adult female scale white, elongate, narrow, moderately broadened posteriorly, barely convex, 2.0 mm long, larval skins pale yellowish brown. Adult female elongate, narrow, nearly parallel on the sides (Takahashi, 1933).
General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Takahashi, 1933).
