Remarks: Casey placed this species in a new genus, Lifjyrodefi, 

 mainly because of the modification of the anterior tarsi in the male, 

 nude apex of the postcoxal prosternal process, and difi'crcnt habitus of 

 the body. Unfortunately, all of these characters are (|uite variable 

 among the other species found south of the United vSlates and it 

 becomes impossible to separate them on the characters given.
