Adult female superficially resembling Icerya aegyptiaca . Dorsum covered 
with cushions of pulverulent, white, waxy secretion ; margin with a loose 
fringe of long, white, curling waxy processes. After denudation the insect 
is of a broadly ovate form, wider behind. Antenna (a) 6-jointed, the 3rd 
wreatly exceeding the length of the terminal three joints together. Limbs 
(a) relatively small, but robust ; tibio-tarsal articulation wanting or incom- 
plete. The suppressed joint indicated by a slight infolding of the outer 
margin at about one third of the length from the distal extremity ; claw 
stout and strongly falcate ; tarsal digitules slender, knobbed ; ungual 
digitules broadly dilated. Stigmatic clefts (c) shallow but sharply defined ; 
lunate ; with a moderately stout, curved spine at each extremity of a nar- 
row curved plate that borders the inner margin of each cleft. Margin 
with a close series of slender, spiniform setse. Anal operculum (e) obovate, 
the outer angles evenly rounded ; almost completely encircled by a sharply 
defined, narrow, densely chitinous plate. Derm of dorsum crowded with 
small, circular or ovate cells (6), each cell enclosing a minute pore. Length 
of denuded insect 3'o mm. 
On an undetermined plant ; Putalam. 
Described from a single example that was put aside as a specimen of 
Icerya aegytiaca. It was only after denudation, in potassium hydrate, that 
its iiecaniid character was revealed.
