Mt. Penrissen, 4000 feet— 1 cf • 



Apparently nearly alhed to the type of the subgenus (L. 

 cavernicola Brun. of Assam), differing in the longer Sc and the 

 position of Gu la just at the base of the discal cell. The hypo- 

 P5^gial structure suggests a possible relationship with L. nenio- 

 ralis Mg. and allied species.
