Systematics: L. knemion is close to L. pini, but can be distinguished by the presence of 3 pairs of rudimentary legs in the nymph, nymphal exuviae and adult female, by the presence of 3 pairs of groups of accessory genacerores, by the greater number of plates on the pygidium, by the absence of cerores associated with the posterior spiracles, and by the greater proximity of the rostrum of the nymphal exuviae to the posterior margin of the pygidium (Hoke, 1925).
Structure: Female scale elongate, straight, secretion white, larval exuviae dark brown. Adult female ovate, tapering somewhat towards posterior extremity. Exuviae of nymph elongate, straight, margin at sides appears slightly incurved (Brittin, 1937).
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Hoke (1925).
