Remarks

• Systematics: Unruh & Gullan (2008b) noted that Crypticerya rosae and C. abrahami and C. pimentae, differ from all other species of Crypticerya because the adult females form neither an ovisac nor a marsupium. Adult females typically do not have elaborate waxy secretion on the dorsal surface and the derm is often very dark in colour and becomes very convex and sclerotized with age. These species are morphologically identical, but have a wide geographic range and are not genetically identical (Unruh & Gullan, 2008).
• General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Riley & Howard (1890, 1890b), Morrison (1928) and by Unruh & Gullan (2008). Description and illustration of first-instar nymph by Unruh & Gullan (2008). The redescription and illustration, under this name, by Vayssière (1926: 317-318) was based on material (sent to him by E.E. Green) collected by Froggatt in 1899 in Sydney, Australia, on Grevillea aleoides.
