Remarks
- Structure: Lindinger (1909e) described the scale cover: "Scale pyriform, with rounded top, more or less circular, 1.4-1.8 mm long, 1.3-1.65 mm wide; exuviae in rounded part, yellow; colour brown with whitish or gray rims". Illustration of scale cover by Balachowsky (1958b). Balachowsky (1958b) described the scale cove: "Female scale circular, 0.6 mm in diameter; convex and suddenly truncate on the top at the margin of the larval exuviae; larval exuviae central; margin circular; colour dark brown, outer margin paler, upper margin orange-brown to pale castaneous; exuviae completely hidden beneath a glistening white secretion, which is perfectly flat, quite circular in outline, and not raised above the upper truncate margin of the secretionary covering of the scale; ventral vellum thin. Male scale oval, dark in center, brighter marginally; diameter, 0.4-0.5 mm.
