Structure: Froggatt (1914) illustrated the female scale, and described it: "This handsome scale insect covered the young foliage and branchlets of a scrub tree (Eremophila sturti), ... Female scale pure white. conical, circular, not more than 1/40 inch in diameter, with the apex truncate, forming a ring with a depression in the centre above the dull yellow exuviae". Brimblecombe (1958) described the scale "Insects numerous on leaves and twigs; scale circular, 1.2 mm in diameter, white, convex; exuviae orange yellow".
Biology: These scales are often clustered together in little patches, and by their presence cause all the foliage to become very sticky (Froggatt, 1914).
