This species " may be known from L. sjniofnis by the broader 

 band on the inner orbits, it toui'hing the ocelli, which is not the 

 case with L. spilo])us ; by the base of the niark on the mesopleurte 

 being gradually narrowed from the middle, it being in L. fijnlopvs 

 abruptly dilated before the middle and by the incision on the mark 

 on the mefapleura) being narrower, deeper and oblique " (Cameron, 

 /. c.) ; the areolet is sessile in the present species. Unknown 

 to me. .

Extremely similar to L. binr/hami, with Avhich I should have 

 merged it were not the immaculate anteniiHe and comparative 

 terebral length sufficiently constant characters ; the jM-esent 

 female may be known by the immaculate black antenna? ; 

 black metathorax, with only the apices of the pleurre flavous ; 

 mesosternuni immaculate black and tlie mesopleuraj flavous only 

 below : abdomen with base and apex of the first three seyments 

 red, the extreme apex of the third and of all the following flavous ; 

 terebra exactly as long as the abdomen (4 millim.) and longer than 

 half the body ; legs fulvous, Aviib tl eir base ilavous, and the hind 

 tibia; alone subinfuscate apically ; liind cox?e fulvous, wilh their 

 disc flavous; areolet distinctly petiolate, emitting the recurrent 

 nervure from its apex. It is allied m coloration to L. lincdta, 

 Grav., but the radial nervure is m-t sinuaie above the petiolate 

 areolet and the terebra is proportimiately much shorter.
