GENERAL REMARKS: Description and illustration of adult female by Howell & Kosztarab (1972). Description and illustration of first-instar nymph by Williams & Kosztarab (1970) (as L. celtidis and L. prosopidis.
SYSTEMATICS: Williams & Kosztarab (1970) - based on a study of the first-instar nymphs - found distinguishing characters between L. celtidis, L. aescula, L. prosopidis, L. pruinosa, L. radiata and L. tessellata and retained them as distinct species. However, Howell & Kosztarab (1972) concluded that the adult females of the above-mentioned six species are so similar morphologically and regarded all of them as synonyms of L. prosopidis.
KEYS: Howell & Kosztarab 1972: 155 (female) [World]; Williams & Kosztarab 1970: 14, 16 (first-instar nymph) [World].
