Mishra, Y.D., Sushil, S.N., Bhattacharya, A., & Sharma, K.K. 1998 Morphometric differences between strains of Indian lac insect, Kerria lacca (Kerr.).. Journal of Insect Science 11(2): 171-172.

Notes: The study revealed that the two strains, i.e. rangeeni and kusumi of Indian lac insect Kerria lacca (Kerr.) are distinct and identifiable on the basis of significant variations in their morphometric characters, viz. branchia, dorsal spine and pedicel.
