Allied to the preceding species, L. dilatata., Walk., but differs 

 in the shoi-ter vertex which is distinctly shorter in length than the 

 breadth between the eyes ; in the S the vertex is much more 

 transverse and less anteriorly angulate, in the $ the vertex is also 

 proportionally shorter and less narrowed anteriorly. 



Length inch tegm. S 15, $ 20 to 21 milliui.
