Diagnosis

Apterae 1.2–1.7 mm, shiny olive, brownish yellow or reddish brown, juveniles green–olive brown, with whitish wax dusting, the rupture lines (which break at moulting) exceptionally distinct, due to denser wax coating. Antennae longer than body. Siphunculi strongly swollen distally, with well-developed apical flange. Hairs on body and appendages very long, with spatulate distal part. Ad. and juv. can be found all the year. Peat bogs, damp places in coniferous forests, also deciduous forests. Often on Polytrichum interspersed in Sphagnum tussocks. Monoecious, seems to prefer Polytrichaceae . Not antattended.
