Two posterior spiracular setae present singly, with one at each outer end of bifid posterior spiracular furrow (Figs 2 R, 3 B), each seta approximately same length as an anterior spiracular seta. Cribriform plates: Arranged in two longitudinal rows with four plates in each row. Each plate (Figs 2 P, 4) 67.5 – 75.0 μm in diameter and bearing 15 – 32 small conical-like setae, sometimes with two or three small conical setae fused together. Anal ring (Fig. 2 O): Elliptical, slightly open at posterior end, 60 – 75 μm in diameter; bearing 10 long setae (12 setae on one specimen), each seta 142 – 187 μm long, and with three concentric rows of nipple-like projections. Anal plates (Fig. 2 O): Narrowly connected at mid-line. Each plate triangular, 150 – 172 μm long and 125 – 245 μm wide, wrinkled dorsally and with 3 – 5 pores; also bearing two fairly stout setae (occasionally with two on one side and three on the other) situated dorsolaterally on posterior half of plate, each seta 20 – 25 μm long; and with one slender seta on inner margin, 17.5 – 32.5 μm long, and two short, slender setae at junction of anal lobes, 17.5 – 20.0 μm long. Arched plate (Fig. 2 O): Crescent-shaped, 125 – 150 μm long. Anal cleft: Distinct, 175 – 300 μm long. Anal lobes: Each lobe slightly rounded, terminating with an approximately apical seta, 75 – 100 μm long, and 9 – 14 shorter associated setae, each 15.0 – 37.5 μm long. Ventral surface. Antennae (Fig. 2 A): Well-developed, each usually 9 - segmented (1 specimen with segment IV on one side apparently divided into 2 segments; and another specimen with only 1 complete antenna remaining, reduced to only 5 segments); 365 – 432 μm long; segment lengths (in μm): I, 42.5 – 56.5; II, 57.5 – 75.0; III, 57.5 – 65.0; IV, 50 – 65; V, 35.0 – 52.5; VI, 37.5 – 47.5; VII, 32.5 – 41.5; VIII, 22.5 – 27.5; IX, 13.5 – 22.5. Setae: segment I without or with one hairlike seta; segment II with one long hairlike seta, one shorter hairlike seta and a sensory pore; segments III, IV, and V each without setae; segment VI usually with one hairlike seta; segments VII and VIII each with a long fleshy seta; and terminal segment (IX) with three long fleshy setae and three or four short slender setae. Clypeolabral shield: 202 – 220 μm long and 167 – 200 μm wide. Labium (Fig. 2 D): Triangular, 82.5 – 95.0 μm long and 95.0 – 122.5 μm wide, with five short setae on each side. Legs (Figs 2 C, 5): Reduced, fused and irregularly shaped (Fig. 5), 2 – 4 - segmented, each leg 37.5 – 80.0 μm long; each leg usually with one short seta present at base, sometimes leg apices with claw remnants, occasionally tarsal digitules present (found only on 1 hind leg). Spiracles (Fig. 2 B): Anterior spiracles each 82.5 – 100.0 μm long and 70.0 – 92.5 μm wide; posterior pair approximately same size. Each anterior spiracle with 3 – 14 quinquelocular pores in heavily sclerotized area above peritreme; each posterior spiracle with 5 – 12 quinquelocular pores in similar position. Spiracular furrows containing primarily quinquelocular pores (Fig. 2 E), each 3.5 – 4.5 μm in diameter, and a few 4 -, 6 - or 7 - locular pores (Fig. 2 E) spaced throughout furrows. 8 - shaped pores (Fig. 2 K, L): Two sizes of 8 shaped pores present on venter. Larger pores (Fig. 2 K), each 5.5 – 6.5 μm long, bent, present in a narrow marginal band ~ 1 – 3 pores wide. Smaller, flat 8 - shaped pores (Fig. 2 L), each 4.5 – 5.0 μm long, forming a narrow submarginal band three or four pores wide just inside marginal pore band. Trilocular pores (Fig. 2 M) occasionally present in this band. Bilocular pores (Fig. 2 H): Each 2.0 – 2.5 μm long, present in submarginal band, reaching posteriorly almost as far as anal lobes. Simple disc pores (Fig. 2 G): Each 2 – 3 μm in diameter, less numerous than those dorsally. Multilocular disc pores (Fig. 2 N): Primarily each with ten loculi (occasionally 8, 9, 11 loculi), each 6.5 – 8.0 μm in diameter, pores usually arranged in six transverse segmental bands across abdomen and one transverse band across cephalothorax; sometimes a few pores present also near mesothoracic leg and on prothorax. Tubular ducts: Slightly narrower than those on dorsum (Fig. 2 F), each 32.5 – 41.0 μm long and 3.0 – 3.5 μm wide, mainly present on margin. Smaller ducts present posterior to vulvar opening. Setae: With 17 – 29 slender setae just anterior to vulvar opening, mostly each 7.5 – 17.5 μm long, but with one pair much longer, each 125 – 142 μm long. A pair of slender submedian setae (Fig. 2 I), each 32.5 – 75.0 μm long, present on most abdominal segments, also extending to the head. Often with a more-or-less well-defined row of short, stout submarginal setae (Fig. 2 J), each 10.0 – 12.5 μm long, associated with submarginal band of flat 8 - shaped pores. Microspines: Present on inner margins of anal lobes; smaller microspines numerous mid-ventrally on posterior half of abdomen, microspines not shown on Fig. 2.	en	Zhang, Jiangtao, Wang, Keqing, Watson, Gillian W., Liu, Xingping, Wang, Xubo (2025): A new species of Lecanodiaspis Targioni Tozzetti, 1869 (Hemiptera, Coccoidea, Lecanodiaspididae), with an updated checklist of the false pit scales of China.
