Systematics: Lepidosaphes pinea is close to L. pini Maskell, but is easily differentiated by elastic meso- and metathorax and by the absence of spines on abdominal tubercles of the 3-4th abdominal segments (Borchsenius, 1964).
Structure: Female body elongate oval, 1-2 disc glands present near anterior spiracles, 2 pairs of abdominal tubercles (Borchsenius, 1964).
