The scale of the male is narrow and much smaller than the scale of the 

 female. In color it is considerably lighter, with marginal exuviae a littlel darker.

This is more strictly a Florida scale, and is seldom found in California. Its 

 color is so near that of the bark that infections are very difficult to find when 

 only on the trunk or stems. However, it readily attacks the leaves and fruit so 

 that it soon becomes very evident. Inspector C. H. Vary found this scale in 

 great numbers infesting trunk (Figure 18), leaves, and fruit of a single orange 

 tree in the very center of Pomona. It was promptly eradicated, for it was feared 

 that it might do the damage here that it ha.^ done in Florida. Mr. E. K. Carnes 

 reports this scale in onlv two districts in the State.
