Adult female 2–4 mm long, light orange, covered with white powdery wax. Body elongate oval, 2.6–4.0 mm long and 1.2–2.0 mm wide. Antenna 328–451 µm long, with 8 segments and many flagellate setae; subapical segment with 1 fleshy seta and apical segment with 3 fleshy setae. Hind leg measurements: trochanter + femur 243–348 µm long; ratio of lengths of hind tibia + tarsus to trochanter + femur about 1:0.91–1.15; hind tibia occasionally with translucent pores on posterior surface; hind trochanter, femur and tarsus without translucent pores. Paired setose tarsal digitules present, subequal in length to the minutely knobbed claw digitules. Cerarii numbering 4–7 pairs, all on abdominal segments; anal lobe cerarii (C18) mostly each containing 2 cerarian setae, each seta 14–40 µm long and about 4–8 µm wide at base, with 1–6 auxiliary setae and a concentration of trilocular pores; penultimate cerarii (C17) each containing 2 conical setae, no auxiliary setae and a few trilocular pores; cerarii situated further forward generally each with 2 conical setae with a few trilocular pores. Anterior ostioles each with a total for both lips of 12–27 trilocular pores and 2–8 setae; each posterior ostiole with a total for both lips of 13–30 trilocular pores and 2–7 setae. Anal ring 68–88 µm wide, bearing 6 setae, each seta 98–174 µm long. Setae relatively short and flagellate, each 6–39 µm long, usually distributed segmentally; setae relatively long and flagellate, each 7–122 µm long.
