What are these white spots?

I have not been able to identify the white spots on my bamboo. I got these a couple of years ago and didn’t take much notice when their leaves began to die because that happened last winter too. Except it got worse and lasted longer than it should.
The white dots are not powdery or fluffy. They do not smear but flake off under reasonably easy pressure. They seem to be either shells or empty cases for living bugs but despite a lot of scrutiny (while I removed the worst-afflicted plants) I could find nothing moving, white or otherwise.
Any ideas?
