Remarks
- Structure: Female scale dark brown, 2.75-3.0 mm long. Male scale similar. Adult female 1.1 mm long, elongate, rather broad; derm membranous except the pygidium (Ferris, 1921a).
- Biology: Lepidosaphes tubulorum has one generation per year, overwintering in the egg stage. Eggs hatch in the middle of May. Male adults emerge at the end of June and mate with females. Females begin egg-laying in August (Murakami, 1970).
- Economic Importance: Miller & Davidson (1990) list this insect as a pest.
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Kuwana (1925a).
