Discussion: L. recens is much like some specimens of variabilis, 

 sironae, and rectistrigella. The most obvious differences are those of 

 the antennae (particularly in the male) in which the sensory areas 

 extend to and slightly on the dorsal surface. In the females the 

 anterior dark brown border of the sensory areas will distinguish this 

 species from the others.
