GENERAL
Description of generic characters by Morrison, H. 1925. Classification of scale insects of the subfamily Ortheziinae. Journal of Agricultural Research 30: 97–154.
SYSTEMATICS
Nipponorthezia are similar to Mixorthezia and Ortheziola by having four or fewer antennal segments. Ortheziola differ from Nipponorthezia by having three-segmented antennae, the claw digitules hairlike, a dorsal plate and a triad of setae on each side of the labium. Nipponorthezia have four-segmented antennae, the claw digitules spine-like, no dorsal plate and no triad of setae on the labium (see Kozár, F. & Miller, D.R. 2000. World revision of Ortheziola Šulc (Homoptera: Coccoidea: Ortheziidae) with descriptions of eleven new species. Systematic Entomology 25: 15–45).
STRUCTURE
Adult female has a stout oval body and superficially resembles other genera of the Ortheziinae (see Morrison, H. 1925. Classification of scale insects of the subfamily Ortheziinae. Journal of Agricultural Research 30: 97–154).
