Platylecanium nepalense (Takagi)
- Margin
- Marginal setae: Marginal setae sharp curved, very sparsely distributed
- Spiracular setae: Spiracular setae numbering 5–6 in each spiracular furrow; setae of variable length; parallel sided, clavate, straight and a little curved, bluntly pointed
- Spiracular cleft sclerotization: Spiracular cleft deep; sclerotization present only at the base of the cleft
- Dorsum
- Derm: Derm rather evenly sclerotised throughout, with 25–27 pairs of less sclerotised irregular polygonal areas anterolateral and anterior to the anal plates extending up to eyes; submarginally the derm has very distinct areolation formed with pale larger oval and bright smaller circular areas on dark background
- Dorsal setae: Dorsal setae very fine and setose, sharply bent and with a distinct basal-socket, each located on top of a raised dermal cone; these setae are formed on the centre of darker borders of pale polygonal areas.
- Submarginal tubercle: Absent
- Preopercular discoidal pores: Dorsal preopercular pores are small simple pore with 5–7 darker spots on the surface, associated with 4 pairs of abdominal clear areas which are arranged in groups anterolateral to anal plates in an arc.
- Dorsal pores : Evenly distributed throughout the dorsum
- Tubular ducts: Absent
- Anal plate: Anal plates together rhomboid; each plate with anterior margin straight, posterior margin concave, tapering to form pointed apex
- Apical setae: 1 apical seta 3 subapical setae, 1 inner margin seta
- Subapical setae: 3 subapical setae
- Fringe setae: 2 anterior margin setae and 3 lateral margin setae
- Venter
- Submarginal setae: Submarginal setae more numerous than marginal setae
- Interantennal setae: Interantennal setae could not be observed.
- Prevulvar setae: One pair of longer prevulvar setae
- Ventral setae: Preopercular pores associated with a series of setae numbering 11–12, arranged in double rows
- Antenna: Antennae very small; without well-defined segments, with 5–7 fleshy apical seta
- Claw: Without a denticle
- Tibiotarsal sclerotization: Legs absent
- Spiracle: Spiracles rather small, not surrounded by the sclerotic plate
- Multilocular pores: Preopercular disc pores very variable, each with 6, 7, 8, 10 or 11 loculi, forming two oblique longitudinal bands, first band close to vulva and second on the preceding segment, around 24–43 pores in the first band and 31–47 pores in the second band
- Tubular ducts: Absent
