This rare species is strictly an Antillean form, and the records 

 from So. America, as shown by Saussure and Zehntner (Biol. Cent.- 

 Amer., Orth., i, p. 192), belong to another species.

Type : 9 ; Fajardo, Porto Rico. February, 1899. Collected by 

 August Busck. (U. S. N. M.) 



Apparently a member of this genus, but not closely related to L. 

 guerini (Saussure) the type. It differs in the smaller size, the granu- 

 late head and thorax, and the differently shaped apex of the abdo- 

 men. 



Form thick and heavily built. Head somewhat flattened, the region between 

 the antennal bases with an elevated transverse ridge, the basioccipital region with 

 several low tubercles; dorsal joint of the antennae flattened, the upper surface 

 undulate. Pronotum almost quadrate, the lateral margins carinate and spined, 

 centrally with two longitudinal rows of tubercles of three each. Mesonotum about 

 three times as long as the pronotum, with a longitudinal median carina, the sur- 

 face tuberculate. Metanotum with the median segment slightly shorter than 

 the mesonotum, posteriorly expanding. Abdomen slightly tapering, the superior 

 terminal plate transverse, the posterior margin rounded. Femora very short, 

 the median pair of limbs equalling the metanotum and median segment in length, 

 the posterior pair of limbs reaching the apex of the second abdominal segment. 

 Tibiae shorter than their respective femora. Tarsus with the three basal joints 

 subequal. 



General color dull yellowish green, the antennae with the apical portions of the 

 large segments bearing a more or less distinct blackish blotch.
