A spinal wax streak, spreading along the segment borders is usually present, and adult apterae often with rounded presiphuncular wax patches. Legs and antennae predominantly dark brown to black. Abdominal hairs long, erect, most of them not originating from sclerites. Hairs on femora rather short, erect or semierect, those on tibiae short, oblique. Holocyclic, monoecious on Pinus .
