Abstract: Lepidosaphes laterochitinosa Green 1925 (Fig. 6) Hosts in FSCA. Araceae: Aglaonema sp. (1), Epipremnum pinnatum (20); Asparagaceae: Dracaena fragrans (L.) Ker Gawl. (4), Dracaena reflexa (1)*, Dracaena sp. (2); Phyllanthaceae: Breynia disticha (2)*. Notes. Lepidosaphes laterochitinosa is similar to L. gloverii by having a narrow body shape, lateral spurs on the anterior abdominal segments, distinct sclerotization on mature adult females, and a small dorsal duct anterior to L2. They differ (character states of L. gloverii are given in parentheses) by having: fewer than seven dorsal ducts between the anal opening and L2 (with more than seven) and small spiculae on the head present (absent).
