- Systematics: In life, body of adult female circular to nearly ovoid, convex dorsally, greenish or brownish. Slide-mounted adult female body nearly circular, posterior end slightly produced. Antennae unsegmented, each bearing 2 spine-like setae, each slightly longer than diameter of antenna, and 2 small hair-like setae. Anal opening apparently ventral, situated on body surface rather close to margin, nearly circular, with margin slightly sclerotized, normally bearing 2 setae (Moghaddam & Watson 2024).
- Biology: Adult females live on bark, usually in shallow pits, and are occasionally found on the lower surfaces of leaves (Moghaddam & Watson 2024).
