Lambdin, P.L., & Podsiadlo, E. 2001 Descriptions of the first instars of Lecanodiaspis brookesae and L. crassispina (Coccoidea: Lecanodiaspidae).. Entomological News 112(5): 287-293.

Notes: The first instars of Lecanodiaspis brookesae and L. crassispina from Australia are described and illustrated. Lecanodiaspis brookesae is distinguished by the presence of fleshy anterior and posterior spiracular setae, ten labial setae, and two setae on the anal plates, while L. crassispina is differentiated from other species of Lecanodiaspis by fleshy anterior and spine-like posterior spiracular setae, ten labial setae, and three setae on the anal plates. A modified key is provided to separate these species from other known species in this taxon.
