Remarks

• Systematics: Lepidosaphes pauliani is easily separable from other Lepidosaphes occurring in Madagascar by the absence of the outer lobule of the 2nd pygidial lobe (Mamet, 1959a).
• Structure: Female scale elongate, pale brown; exuviae terminal. Adult female membranous, with cephalic extremity rounded, 0.8 mm long. Median pygidial lobes fairly broad, with apical margin smooth, separated from each other at base by a space equal to about half the width of one of them (Mamet, 1959a).
• General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Mamet (1959a).
