The female coccid is completely enclosed in a box or sack-like stiuctiire (sometimes embedded in the soft tissue of the leaf or stem, with the top level with the surface of the bark), composed of opaque, femi-transparent, glass like, waxy or horny secretion, with the outer margins fringed with crystalline filaments or waxy spines. At the anal extremity there is a small opening, through which the young larvae-escape from the sac. The enclosed adult coccid are legless, with antennae wanting or else much aborted. The anal lobes are small and rudimentary, with the margins of the integument fringed with one or two rows of curled glands. Maskell included all the species now placed under this genus in Signoret's genus Plmichonia, and was very critical about other wiiters on coccids not adopting it, but as this name PlancJionia had been previously used in zoology it had to be discarded. Members of this genus are widely distributed, about twenty-six species have been described; but as several workers have relied chiefly upon size and colour without indicating the structural differences, several may have to be struck out.
