Male scale resembling that of female, with sides more or less parallel, exuviae at one end. Adult female 0.8 mm long. Pygidium with median lobes alone well developed, these broad and low with tips rounded, notched laterally. At each basal angle is a very small spine. A much larger spine marks the position of the obsolete 2nd and 3rd lobes. Between the 1st lobe and the position of the 2nd lobe is a single low gland prominence and just beyond the 2nd lobe is a gland spine or plate (Ferris, 1919a).
