Hdb. Mexico, Amula in Guerrero 6000 feet (H. H. Smith). 



This species is very distinct on account of its somewhat V-shaped elytra, these being 

 less squamiform than usual. The fore femora are spined as in typical Platamodes and 

 not as in L. decipiens, in which they are spined in their whole length (Blattinse, Type 2, 

 antea, p. 30).
