Remarks
- Structure: Female scale light brown, small, wide posteriorly, 1.2-2.7 mm long, curved or straight, often distorted by pressure of surrounding leaf hairs. Male scale slender, membranous, white to purplish white, 0.7-1.0 mm long. Adult female fusiform, 0.7-1.4 mm long, membranous except for pygidium, but after completion of oviposition prepygidial abdominal segments distinctly sclerotized (Ahmad & Ghani, 1971). Eggs are white (Kuwana, 1925a). Female scale elongate, widened toward the posterior end, brown, 1.8-2.3 mm long. Male scale about 1.0 mm long. Adult female body elongate and widest at the anterior half of the abdomen, approximately 1.2 mm long and 0.6 mm wide (Borchsenius, 1958a).
- Biology: Lepidosaphes conchiformis has two generations annually, overwintering in the fertilized female adults. The female deposits about 60 eggs beneath the scale irregularly in the next April. The eggs hatch in May to June (first generation) and in August to September (second generation) (Murakami, 1970). Lupo (1943) discovered that this species has a leaf form and stem form that are quite different morphologically. Stafford and Barnes (1948) studied the fig scale on Adriatic figs in the vicinity of Fresno, CA. They found about 5% of the overwintering twig-inhabiting females were ovipositing in February when local almonds were in bloom. About 90% of the females were ovipositing when apricot blooms were falling. At this time Adriatic fig tree buds were about 3/4 inch long. Overwintering females on bark produced an average of 30.2 eggs each. Hatching began on April 5 and was nearly complete on June 24. Male crawlers settled mostly on the upper surfaces of leaves while female crawlers settled mainly on the lower leaf surfaces. Over 90% of the crawlers settle on leaves in this generation. Summer generation females on leaves produced an average of 12.4 eggs each which hatch from July to October. These crawlers tend to settle on twigs. Nearly all first generation males emerged by mid-July. Second generation males were present from late September to November. These males fertilized females on bark which became the overwintering generation. An overwintering, a first summer, and partial second summer generation are indicated on figs in Fresno, California. Bodenheimer (1924) reported 2 generations a year in Palestine. Komosinska (1975) reported only 1 generation a year in Poland. Fertilized adult females constitute the overwintering stage. Eggs are laid in May. Crawlers appear from mid-May to late June. Second instars occur from late June to late July. Male prepupae and pupae occur from late July to early August. Adult males appear around August and mate with adult females. (Miller & Davidson, 2005).
- Economic Importance: Miller & Davidson (1990) list this insect as a serious and widespread pest. Stafford and Barnes (1948) reported that although heavy populations of fig scale occur on the leaves and twigs, little immediate damage results. Such populations, however, will result in fig fruit infestation, and this will seriously affect the market value of figs because the scales caused dark green spots on fruits. In 1944, infested fruit grown for canning had to be used for jam stock, and hence were worth only about 70% of their value canned. Ahmad and Ghani (1971) noted the fig scale seriously damaged Citrus, Malia, and Ricinus. Komosinska (1969) found that heavy infestations caused bark "ruptures" on Tilia. Chua and Wood (1990) suggest that this species is an important pest of figs. Beardsley and González (1975) consider this scale to be one of 43 serious armored scale pests, and Miller and Davidson (1990) consider it to be a serious world pest. (Miller & Davidson, 2005).
