Remarks

• Systematics: Morrison (1930) in the original description of this species used two spellings for the species epithet, on page 18 anomola, whereas anomala in the caption on Plate 1. Later, Morrison & Morrison (1966: 65) named the species Echinicerya anomala. Therefore, we conclude that the correct species epithet is anomala, whereas anomola is a mis-spelling.
• General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female and first-instar nymph by Morrison (1930) and by Unruh & Gullan (2008). Description of adult female by Unruh & Gullan (2008b).
