Described from a single $ specimen bred July 23, 1886, from 

 Canarsia hammondi, by C. M. Weed. 



This species in general appearance comes nearest to Limner ia 

 annulipes Cr. and L. pterophorce Ashm., but it is larger and 

 readily separated by the subsessile areolet, pectinate claws, and 

 by the color of the anterior and middle coxae and trochanters. It 

 belongs evidently in Forster's subgenus Sinophorus.
