Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily: Coccinae. Tribe: Saissetiini.
- Structure: The shape of the adult females depends on their position on the host; they are usually broadly oval on the fruit and more elongate on the stems. Teneral adults are flattish, yellow with distinct dorsal red anal plates. Mature adults are reddish or brownish yellow and often have dark brown speckling, becoming darker brown with maturity; the dorsal derm is shiny, without obvious wax; no ovisac is formed as the eggs are protected beneath the body of the mature adult female. (Malumphy, 2012a)
- General Remarks: Definition and characters by De Lotto (1963d), Hanford (1974) and by Hodgson (1994a).
