Appearance in life.
The female is wholly enveloped by a layer of white waxy, floccose, sub–spherical in shape,
5–6 mm
in diameter, without orifice in the apex, and usually fixed in the axils of the leaves and branches, sometimes isolated; most frequently the individuals are grouped in number of 2–8 or more (
Hempel, 1932
).
Species diagnosis.
Microtubular ducts abundant on both surfaces; metacoxae each with 40–50 (20–30 dorsal and 15–20 ventral) translucent pores; anal lobes each with 4 ventral setae; anal ring with 2 rows of pores; spiracles large in comparison to legs, each about same size as a coxa.
