Systematics: L. pinifolii is close to L. pseudotsugae, but can be differentiated by the barely perceptible contraction between the meso- and metathorax, longer serrated gland spines and fewer number of circumgenital glands (Borchsenius, 1964)
Structure: Adult female with constriction between meso- and metathorax hardly perceptible. Marginal tubercles located on II to IV abdominal segments; the two anterior ones with one small spine (Danzig, 1980b).
