Remarks
- Systematics: Lepidosaphes corni is close to L. maskelli, but is differentiated from that species chiefly by the presence of a blunt lateral tubercle on the prepygidial segments; and is different from L. japonica Kuwana, in the smaller second lobe and in the presence of a submarginal dorsal duct in front of the 2nd lobe. L. corni is also close to L. yanagicola, from which it may be separated by the shape of the pygidium. These two species appear to be closely related to L. sciadopitysi, from which they may be separated by having submedian dorsal ducts on the 2nd abdominal segment (Takagi, 1960).
- Structure: Adult female body rather narrow, with the prepygidial segments a little convex laterally, not sclerotized. Antennae with 2 long setae (Takahashi, 1957b).
- General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Takahashi (1957b) and Hu et al. (1992).
