Remarks

• Systematics: Kawai (1980) shows an illustration of the dorsal enlarged setae as very short cones, whereas the illustration of Kuwana (1931b) shows them as narrow and elongate. We suspect that the treatment of Kawai is a misidentification. Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae elongate, conical, apices acute, of 2 or 3 sizes, scattered over surface of dorsum (Kuwana, 1931b).
• Structure: Sac of female is grayish white in color, closely felted and ovate. Sac of male is similar. Adult female is dark brown with antenna and legs pale yellow (Kuwana, 1931b).
• Biology: On the leaves and stem of the host plant. (Kozár, et al., 2013)
• General Remarks: Original description and illustration by Kuwana (1931b).
