Capulinia differs from all other South American eriococcid genera in having the hind legs modified into membranous lobes that are located near the posterior apex of the abdomen. Opinthoscelis also has enlarged hind legs located near the posterior apex of the abdomen but these genera differ in that Capulinia has numerous microtubular ducts forming a circle around the anal opening (Opinthoscelis is without microtubular ducts), loculate pores restricted to spiracular area (Opinthoscelis has pores which are scattered arond the anal area), and hind legs smaller than length of labium (Opinthoscelis hind legs are much longer than labium). (Hodgson & Miller, 2010)
As noted by Hodgson & Miller (2010), there are significant morphological differences between C. sallei and other members of the genus. It is likely that most or all of the other species currently place in Capulinia are not congeneric with C. sallei making it difficult to diagnose the genus becuase of morphological variation among the species. (Kondo, et al., 2016)
- Structure: Slide-mounted adult female with: front 2 pairs of legs represented by small sclerotized areas or absent; hind legs placed further posteriorly than normal, forming elongate processes; anal ring reduced, without pores; with many small tubular ducts (Ferris, 1955a).
The first-instar nymphs are most similar to those of Pseudocapulinia lanosa with shich they share the following features: (i) 6-segmented antenna; (ii) anal lobes not differentiated; (iii) dorsal body setae of one type; (iv) cruciform pores absent; and (v) loculate pores restricted to near each spiracle. they differ from he numphs of P. lanosa in (i) the shape of the dorsal setae (pointed in P. lanosa). The first-instar nymphs of Capulinia also share some similarity with the first-instar nymph of Tectococcus ovatus, but can be separated by their (i) 6-segmented antennae (5-segmented in T. ovatus and (ii) dorsal setae of one type (2 types in T. ovatus). (Kondo, et al., 2016)
- Biology: Adult females are found on leaves of the host, secreting an extraordinarily long ovisac. (Hodgson & Miller, 2010)
