Form oblong, the elytra distinctly constricted a little beyond the middle. 
Antennae more slender and a little longer than in L. binotata Champion; 
first segment slightly longer than the second, the latter obconical; third 
segment a little more than three and a half times the length of the fourth, 
the fourth slightly longer than the first and second conjoined. Elytra ex- 
tending a little beyond the tip of the abdomen; costal area extremely nar- 
row, with a single row of tiny areolae; subcostal area with three to four 
rows of areolae, the areolae very slightly smaller than those of discoidal 
area; sutural area broad, the areolae becoming larger towards the apex. 
Median pronotal carina quite distinct, the lateral ones traceable on the 
posterior extension. Spines on vertex of head short, decumbent, converging 
at the apex; lateral spines rather long, decumbent, extending a little beyond 
the posterior margins of the eyes. Pronotum coarsely punctured. Length, 
2.89 mm.; width 1.14 mm. 
General color light reddish brown, with fuscous markings. A transverse 
spot on each side behind the collar, one on each side near the lateral carinae, 
discoidal area and a broad transverse band about the middle of costal area, 
and part of the veinlets of sutural area dark fuscous. Antennae and legs 
reddish brown. Bucculae, rostral sulcus and spines on head yellowish 
brown. 
Two specimens, taken on wild olive, Osmanthus americanus,
