Figure 4.

Aspidiotus rigidus-infested coconut trees with magnified view of scale colony samples from: Zamboanga City (A,B); Isabela City, Basilan (C,D); and Tablas Island, Romblon (E,F). Black arrows point to the characteristic distribution of eggs and egg skins along the pygidial ends of mature female A. rigidus which can be used as basis to quickly distinguish this species from other Aspidiotus spp. on coconut. White double arrow points to female Comperiella calauanica. Scale bars on the photomicrographs approximate 1.0 mm.
