Remarks
- Systematics: The name Orthezia signoreti Haller (1880) is a primary homonym of Orthezia signoreti White (1877) and was replaced by the next available junior synonym Ortheziola vejdovskyi Sulc (1895). For more details see Varshney (1964) and Williams (1982c). Ortheziola vejdovskyi is similar to O. britannica. For a comparison of the two species see the "systematics" section of O. britannica (Kozár & Miller, 2000).
- Structure: The dorsal wax plates of adult female form four longitudinal rows. The center of the dorsum is yellowish with segmentation visible. Ovisac is short with a V-shaped tip (Kosztarab & Kozár, 1988). Adult female light brown, flat and oval. The waxy material forms filaments that flow together into plates, pyramids and hornshaped forms of a shining white color with two yellow bands. Larvae are oblong, rounded anteriorly and acuminate posteriorly, distinctly segmented and light yellow (Sulc, 1895).
- Biology: This is a rare boreal species that is often found by plant quarantine inspectors in mosses and other packing materials used for shipping live plants. Adult females noted from July through September in Poland. All stages overwinter and each female lays 20-40 eggs (Kosztarab & Kozár, 1988).
- General Remarks: Kosztarab & Kozár (1988) provide detailed description and illustration. Additional description and illustration by Kozár & Miller (2000). Redescription and illustration by Kozár (2004).
