Biology: Occurring under flakes of bark or around scarred places. Thompson & Colvin (1990) studied its biology on loblolly pine in USA, Arkansas and found that it develops three annual broods in May, July and September. Cytogentic observations showed that it is a bisexual species; however, males have not been observed by Thompson & Colvin (1990).
General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Lobdell (1930), Ferris (1950b) and by Kosztarab (1996).
