Remarks
- Systematics: Walkeriana digitifrons is similar to W. floriger but differs from it in lacking tubercles and in having closely packed cicatrices. (Watson, 2022)
- Structure: Adult female somewhat pyriform, narrowed in front; highly convex and sloping gradually towards the cephalic margin. Dorsum more or less covered with an easily deciduous layer of white or pale buff-white, granular wax; margin with relatively robust, coalescing plated of white wax, which, when perfect, are distinctly laminated transversely; cephalic margin with a short stout centrally placed, cylindrical process (Newstead, 1920).
- General Remarks: Description of adult female by Newstead (1920).
