Diagnosis

Diagnosis based on Heie (2004). Apterae 1.8–2.7 mm, pale, wax-covered. Very similar to P. bumeliae , but the posterior wax gland plates on head weakly developed, sometimes absent. Dioecious, alternating between Fraxinus excelsior (Oleaceae) and roots of Abies ( Pinaceae ), where wax-covered colonies are formed.
