Remarks
- Systematics: Lepidosaphes cycadicola is evidently close to L. beckii and L. cupressi. It is distinguishable from the former by having less numerous gland cones and by having a cluster of 2 or 3 ducts in front of the 2nd lobes. It can be told from the latter by having a lateral process only between 3rd and 4th abdominal segments and by the cluster of ducts in front of the 2nd lobe (Takagi, 1970).
- Structure: Female scale elongate, dark brown. Pygidium of female large, well chitinized. Two pairs of lobes well formed; median pair much larger than the 2nd, rather close to each other, 2 or 3 notches on each side (Kuwana & Muramatsu, 1931a).
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Takagi (1970).
