Systematics: Lopholeucaspis limoniae resembles L. cockerelli, but the lobes are of a different shape and are not notched, while the pectinae are longer (extending well beyond the lobes) and the median and cephalo-lateral groups of circumgenital pores form a continuous series (Rutherford, 1915).
Structure: Female scale elongate, narrow, dark brown, consisting chiefly of the large 2nd exuviae. Male scale with exuviae dark brown, white secretion must the same dimensions as the 2nd exuviae of female. Adult female several times longer than broad, greenish, abdominal segments not laterally produced (Rutherford, 1915).
