Remarks
- Systematics: Lepidosaphes dorsalis is close to L. noxia, but differs as follows: antenna with 3 setae, one of which is quite fine; metathorax with gland spines (gland tubercles) situated in the submedian region; and the perivulvar pores fewer (Takagi & Kawai, 1966).
- Structure: Adult female body slender, prosoma being as long as the postsoma. Free abdominal segments moderately lobed laterally. Pygidium trapezoidal, with 2 pairs of lobes (L1 and L2) well developed, the 3rd reduced to marginal serrations (Takagi & Kawai, 1966).
- General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Takagi & Kawai (1966).
