Remarks
- Structure: Scale cover of adult female small, narrow, flattened and light brown. Male scale cover light brown, linear. (Moghaddam & Watson, 2021) Slide-mounted adult female oval, membranous at maturity, widest at metathorax. Antennae each with 2 setae of unequal sizes. Lateral lobes of abdominal segments moderately produced. Anterior spiracles each associated with 1–3 disc pores; posterior spiracles without associated disc pores. Pygidium with 3 pairs of lobes; median lobes (L1) wide, each symmetrical, notched on each margin; median space as wide as a single median lobe. Second lobes (L2) bilobed; third lobes (L3) small and conical. Gland spines present between median lobes, and singly between segments VII & VIII and VI & VII. Dorsal marginal ducts numbering 6 on each side; a few submedian dorsal ducts present on segment VI; submarginal and submedian groups of ducts present on segments II–V; also with submarginal ducts on metathorax and abdominal segment I. Ventral duct tubercles present associated with each posterior spiracle, and on abdominal segments I and II. Perivulvar pores present in 5 groups. (Moghaddam & Watson, 2021)
- Biology: Lepidosaphes juniperi was collected at an elevation of 2,200 m in elevation (Kosztarab & Kozár).
- Economic Importance: Lepidosaphes juniperi is considered an economic pest (Gómez-Menor Ortega, 1958a & Miller & Davidson, 1990).
