impressed, impunctate, dark fuscous; collar wide, truncate in front, 
without hood, areolate; paranota narrow, extended horizontally, com- 
posed of two rows of areolae in front of calli and only one row of areolae 
behind calli; triangular process areolate. 
Elytra a little longer than abdomen, scarcely more than width of 
costal areas, wider than abdomen; costal area biseriate, the areolae 
moderately large, regularly arranged, quadrate and clear; subcostal 
area narrower than costal area, nearly vertical, composed largely of 
four rows of small cells; discoidal area extending beyond middle of 
elytra, widest near middle, acutely angulate at both ends, five cells 
deep in widest part, the sutural area on same horizontal plane, with 
slightly larger areolae. Outer margins of paranota and elytra with 
small, setalike spines (fig. 175), the boundary veins of discoidal area 
beset with smaller upright setal spines. 
Type: Holotype (male), Windhoe, South-West Africa, elevation 
5,000 feet, September 19, 1920, USNM 65130. 
Remarks: The right elytron of the holotype of L. elachys is illus- 
trated in figure 175. The size, short appendages, and spinulate outer 
margins of paranota and elytra and the boundary veins of discoidal 
areas distinguish this species from other African congeners.
