Miller, D.R., Williams, D.J., & Davidson, J.A. 2006 Key to conifer-infesting species of Lepidosaphes Shimer worldwide (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Diaspididae), with descriptions of two new species and a redescription of L. pallidula (Williams).. Zootaxa 1362: 23-42.

Notes: Two new species of Lepidosaphes are described, L. caribaeae Williams and Miller from Trinidad and Jamaica and L. murreeana Williams and Miller from Pakistan. Lepidosaphes pallidula (Williams), a non-conifer infesting species, is redescribed so that it can be distinguished from L. pallida (Maskell), a species commonly detected on conifers. A dichotomus key is presented for the identification of the adult females of the 25 species of Lepidosaphes that occur on conifers worldwide and a matrix is provided containing 23 characters considered important in distinguishing the 25 conifer-infesting species.
