variegated with fulvous (or ochreous), white, and black, the fulvous scales condensed into a large apical 
patch, and the white ones into a small spot at the middle of the suture (which is preceded by a black 
patch) and another on the eighth interstice ; the under surface and legs white, the flanks of the prothorax 
often fulvous, the posterior femora with a blackish patch towards the apex. Eyes large, subcontiguous. 
Rostrum carinate and rugulose at the base. Joint 2 of the funiculus much longer than 1. Prothorax 
short, narrowing from near the base, constricted in front ; densely punctate and feebly carinate. Elytra 
broad, subcordate, rounded at the apex, with a small smooth humeral callus; deeply punctate-striate, the 
interstices rugose and slightly wider than the strie. Rostral canal deep.

This is a form of L. infimus with a large, rufescent, fulvo-squamose apical patch, 
which sometimes extends forwards to the middle of the suture, and rather broad, 
cordate elytra. The description is taken from the numerous specimens from Capetillo 
and Guatemala City. Three from the latter locality with the elytra mottled with rufo- 
piceous may also belong here.
