Lemurpediculus verruculosus

The general body shape, lack of paratergal plates, sternal and tergal abdominal plates, and wide separation of the leg coxae, are shared by both sexes and the nymph.[1] The total body length is 0.870–0.945 millimetres (0.03–0.04 in), and males and females share a unique feature: a head that is well sclerotised, or hardened, anteriorly with broadly curved anterior margins.[1] They have antennae that are segmented into five parts, with the first segment much larger than the other segments. There are two sutural (fused joint) head setae, four dorsal marginal head setae, two apical head setae, and one each of a dorsal anterior, central, posterior, principal, accessory, ventral, and preantennal head seta. The thorax is barely wider than the head and the forelegs are smaller than the mid and hindlegs. The abdomen is wider than the thorax, and it bears six spiracles on each side.[1] Nymphs have a head that has a broadly rounded anterior margin and lacks a lateral notch anterior to the antennae.[1] Its thorax is slightly wider than its head, with gently convex lateral margins.[1] The most basal segment, or coxae, are subtriangular.[1] Their abdomen has nine rows of two-dorsal central abdominal seta and one fairly long dorsal lateral abdominal seta.[1]
