Bakerius glandulosus Hempel

Description (English translation of Hempel 1938). Puparium habitus. Yellow in color, oval, with rounded posterior margin, sometimes with the anterior margin a slightly acuminate; 1623 μm long by 1177 μm wide. The fringe of white wax around the margin of the body measures 238-280 μm in length. Dorsum with three pairs of compound pores, one cephalic pair and two abdominal pairs. These glands form a cup with numerous cells or grooves on the inner wall and a central process that is horn-shaped. The two cephalic compound pores are slightly smaller than the abdominals, about 50 μm in diameter, while the abdominal pairs each are around 58 μm. The abdominal dorsal segments are clearly indicated. Vasiform orifice large and cordate with anterior margin straight about 120 μm in length and about 93 μm wide; The lingula large, spatulate and inserted, surface entirely asperate with four subapical setae; the operculum, slightly wider that long with posterior margin bisinuate. The margin of the pupal case with small incisions and the submargin with a double row of teeth more large and rounded; 10 teeth occupy 152 microns; teeth enclose five incisions between two marginal teeth.

Nymph. Habitus. On the underside of leaf and sometimes in great abundance. The shape is oval, with the posterior part of the body a little wider than the anterior half. The color is grayish or light yellow, with a narrow fringe of white wax around the margin. The dorsum with six curved tubes of wax; and when there are many individuals on the leaf, these tubes form a thick layer on top of the insects. Such tubes can reach 14 μm. in length, or more.
