Lepidosaphes pinnaeformis ( Bouché, 1851) View in CoL ( Fig. 9 View Figure 9 )

Cymbidium scale

Hosts in FSCA. Orchidaceae (3): Cymbidium sp. (7).

Notes. An uncommonly encountered species that has only been collected on orchids in Florida, though it can be a polyphagous pest elsewhere ( Miller and Davidson 2005; García Morales et al. 2016 ). Lepidosaphes pinnaeformis is similar to L. ulmi by having numerous small submedial dorsal ducts between the anal opening and L2. They differ (character states of L. ulmi are given in parentheses) by having: the eye represented by sclerotized spur (eye absent or dome shaped); lateral abdominal spurs absent (present); and one small dorsal duct anterior to L2 (two small dorsal ducts anterior to L2).
