Mamet1959a: pp.381 ( Adult (F) ) [Key to species of Lepidosaphes in Madagascar]

Systematics: Lepidosaphes madagascariensis differs from L. vermicula in the absence of the submarginal pore of the 7th segment, by the much shorter pygidial gland spines, by the presence of sclerotized areas associated with the lobes and by the nature of the female scale (Mamet, 1950).
Structure: Female scale very elongate, narrow, whitish and translucent; exuviae terminal. Adult female membranous, with cephalic extremity flatly rounded, 1.2 mm long. Median pygidial lobes much broader than long, with sloping outer and inner margins notched several times (Mamet, 1959a).
General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Mamet (1950).
