Ecological Descriptors

Sap-feeder.

(no title)

Slide-mounted adult female with undifferentiated marginal enlarged setae, dorsum with numerous slender, long, delicate enlarged setae (see Morrison & Morrison (1922). Because of the similarity of the species epithets "hirtus" and "hirsutus" these species have sometimes been confused.

(no title)

Adult female dark purple, but covered with a quantity of very short white filaments so that the general appearance is grey, form subglobular. First-instar nymph reddish or yellowish brown, active, elongate. Male pupa is covered by a white cylindrical sac of white cotton (from Maskell 1896).
