This species comes near to L.formosa Crotch and L. pronion- 

 torii Crotch ; from unicolorous spécimens of the former it difïers 

 ])y its longer thorax which is more parallel-sided, less rounded in 

 front, and less contracted before base ; the club of the antennœ 

 also is much more compact, and differently shaped; from L. pro- 

 mo7itorii it differs in being larger with more elongate and more 

 strongly punctured thorax, and by the shape of the club of the 

 antennae.
