Structure: Scale of female elongate oval, 1.5-2 mm long; very convex; exuviae subcentral; larval secretion whitish except as obscured by extraneous matter; main or subsequent secretion dull resinous brown; larval secretion and exuvia easily lost, exposing the large, bright orange coloured second exuvia; scale adhering very loosely to the leaf and easily dislodged, leaving the insect exposed; inner surface of scale covered with snow-white secretion which entirely conceals the exuviae. Male scale not certainly identified, but apparently the same general type as female, except as to size and number of exuviae (Marlatt, 1908c).
