Remarks

• Structure: Brain (1919) cited the description of scale cover of Green (1896e), however the latter was based on material from Sri Lanka, whereas L. greeni was described from South Africa. Balachowsky (1958b) described the scale cover "circular, 2 mm in diameter; slightly convex; brown, with black central exuviae. Male scale elongated, colour similar to that of female".
• General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by McKenzie (1950) and by Balachowsky (1958b).
