This species, or, as Dr. Forel makes it, race of L. peuqiicti, is 

 unknown to me. In Burma I found only typical L. peuqueti^ from 

 which this species seems to differ chiefly in its much more strongly 

 compressed and longer node to the pedicel.

 lateral angles rounded ; mandibles powerful, subtriangular, strongly 

 dentate; clypeus narrow, its anterior margin transverse, produced 

 ])osteriorly to a point between the antennal carina? ; these latter 

 parallel, curved posteriorly, triangularly laminate in front, covering 

 the base of the antennsc ; antenna? 12-jointed, cylindrical, stout, 

 the scape passing by very little beyond the top of the head; the
