Type in coll. m. 
This little species is allied to Labia minor, L., and 
also, M. de Bormans tells me, to Labia pilicornis, Motsch., 
which [I have never seen. It may be distinguished from 
LL. minor by its darker colour and the absence of the spine 
on the pygidium of the male, which is a characteristic of 
the latter species.
