Remarks
- Systematics: Lepidosaphes pineti is close to L. pini, but is well differentiated by the shorter and broader marginal and dorsal glands of the pygidium, longer plates of the pygidium and the shape of the plates (Borchsenius, 1958a).
- Structure: Female scale elongate, 2.0-2.4 mm long, brown, narrow depressed light band along the margin. Male scale 0.9 mm long, brown. Adult female elongate, slightly broadened towards the posterior half, approximately 0.8 mm long and 0.4 mm wide (Borchsenius, 1958a).
- General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Borchsenius (1958a). Table of taxanomic characters distinguishing conifer infesting species in Miller, Williams & Davidson (2006).
