Antennae (c) 8-jointecl, 3, 4 and 5 elongate, 3rd longest — equal to the 
terminal three together. Legs well developed ; the tarsus approximately 
half as long as the tibia, often more or less bowed ; tarsus of anterior leg 
(d) usually with an incomplete division at about half its length ; claw 
large, strong and falcate ; tarsal digitules long and slender, minutely 
knobbed ; ungual digitules long, narrow, dilated at the extremity. Anal 
operculum (a) as broad as it is long ; the basal margins slightly concave, 
the outer margins convex ; apices bluntly pointed. Stigmatic clefts (h) 
shallow, with three stout spines, the median spine longest and curved at 
its extremity, the outer spines straight and bluntly pointed. Marginal setae 
simple, slender, larger towards the posterior extremity of the body. Derm 
of dorsum crowded with irregularly circular or ovate, conspicuous cells 
(c), often filled with dark granular matter, moderately large, each cell 
opening onto the surface by a small oval pore. There is an irregular, 
medio-longitudinal series of small, discoid pores on the dorsum, extending 
from shortly in front of the anal operculum to the base of the abdomen. 
Venter with some longish, stout setae, arranged in a double median series 
on the abdomen, somewhat scattered on the thoracic area, and in a trans- 
verse group below the point of insertion of the antennae. Length 3-o 
to 4 '5 mm.

This species has been assigned, somewhat doubtfully, to the genus 
Exaeretopus, in the type species of which there are no stigmatic spines. 
But the characters of the limbs and antennae are more in accordance with 
that genus than with Lecanium. The absence of any ovisac precludes a 
position in Pulmnaria with which, otherwise, the characters are in close 
agreement. 
Chalcid parasites, bred from this species, have been determined as 
Ooccophagun Jlavescem How.
