Extract

Adult ♀.—Length, 5 mm.; width, 3 mm.; many are smaller than this, but this seems to be the average size of the adult containing eggs. Colour yellowish-gray, although they appear light gray, from the mealy secretion which covers the body.

Shape, ellipsoidal, dorsal surface quite convex, ventral surface flat, extremities rather pointed. segmentation quite distinct to naked eye. Extremely short lateral appendages, little projections just visible; caudal appendages a little longer.
