Systematics: Distinguished from Burmorthezia insolita by the narrower and longer first segment relative to other antennal segments, V-shaped (vs flat) frontal margin, and setae on legs about twice the length of those in B. insolita. (Vea & Grimaldi, 2012)
Structure: Adult female and male unknown. Second-instar nymph. Body elongate oval, dorsoventrally flattened. Antennae 6-segmented, inserted ventrally at V-shaped frontal margin, with apical segment slightly clavate. Second segment bears two stiff, erect, spine-like setae on lateral surface. Wax secretion of ortheziid type, with apparently nine marginal lobes, one frontal lobe, and at least 11 unseparated, transverse median lobes (head region not visible). All wax lobes protrude posteriad. (Vea & Grimaldi, 2012)
