Systematics: De Lotto (1963a) studied "... unique mounted specimens of Lecanium punculiferum lamborni ... " and suggested that it was " ... a preadult of a species very likely referable ..." to Udinia. Hanford (1974: 21), in the Udinia revision, was unable to study the above specimens, but studied " ... dry material, which appears to be the only remaining specimens of the original type material". While no decision was taken by Hanford (1974), she suggested " ... that further type specimens do exist. " Consequently, Ben-Dov et al. (1997) raised Lecanium punctuliferum lamborni to species level, until such material will be recovered.
