Description

The scale covers of female adults are generally yellow in color, and the color of the larval exuviae, located at the front of the scale cover, is a deep yellow (Fig. 1 ); shed scale covering marginal; light purple or light brown. Adult male scale cover is smaller and narrower than that of female scale cover. The male cover looks more oval compared to that of the female cover. Color of the male cover is similar to the female cover. On the slide-mounted female, the body shape is round to oval (Fig. 2 ); Body length 1.07-1.18 (median 1.16) mm, Width 0.72-0.82 (median 0.8) mm; the end of the median lobes is pointed and there are approximately five to six gland spines between median lobes; ventral marginal setae slightly shorter than dorsal marginal setae in abdominal segment 8. Margin of the pygidium, with a pair of pygidial sclerosis. Perivulvar pores absent; marginal setae located on segment 4, 5, 6, and 7; Several creulae between dorsal abdominal segments. Anterior spiracle with approximately four or six spiracular pores, posterior spiracle without pores; many secretory ducts are concentrated on the dorsal and dorsal surfaces.
