Podsiadlo, E., & Mazurkiewicz, A. 2012 Morphology of the first instar nymph of Leucaspis loewi Colvee (Hemiptera: Coccinea: Diaspididae). Polskie Pismo Entomologiczne 81:43+47

Notes: The first instar nymph of Leucaspis loewi Colvee is redescribed and illustrated. The sex has not been determined. It has 5-segmented antennae, one trilocular disc pore associated with the anterior spiracle, one pair of well-developed lobes, and fimbriate plates on all abdominal segments. Tibia and tarsus are not fused – they are separated from each other by a septum. A campaniform sensillum is always present at the bases of the tarsi. Dorsal submedian setae are present on each abdominal segment 1-7.
