Adult male - With wing buds only; living inside a glassy test............................................................. 3 3 Body not obviously constricted to form distinct head, thorax and abdomen; wing buds large................Prepupal male - Body clearly constricted to form distinct head, thorax and abdomen; wing buds small....................... Pupal male 4 Each anal plate tipped with 1 seta longer than plate............................................ First-instar nymph - Each anal plate tipped with setae much shorter than plate...................................................... 5 5 Dorsum with tubular ducts in a transverse or radial row, in addition to 1 or 2 longitudinal lines around margin. Living inside a translucent glassy test..............................................................Second-instar male nymph - Dorsum without tubular ducts (except in E. cerasorum and P. hellenicus ) If test present (as in E. cerasorum and E. ciliatum ), this may be translucent................................................................................. 6 6 Ventral multilocular disc pores and tubular ducts numerous at least on abdomen. Legs with or without tibio-tarsal articulation..........................................................................................Adult female - Ventral multilocular disc pores and tubular ducts absent or very few. Legs always without tibio-tarsal articulation......... 7 7 Dorsum and venter without multilocular disc pores (except in Physokermes ); setae and pores relatively few............................................................................................ Second-instar female nymph - Dorsum without tubular ducts and multilocular pores (except in Physokermes ); setae and pores more numerous..........................................................................................Third-instar female nymph
