Remarks

• Structure: Lepidosaphes ceodes has distinct dimorphic forms which are caused by the difference of feeding sites on the host. These dimorphic forms, however, are connected by diverse intermediate forms and there are no other difference sufficient to divide them into distinct species (Kawai, 1972a).
• General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Kawai (1972a).
