Metapleuron oblong, chestnut brown, with distinct punctation at base 

 of pleural groove; 8—9 setae at distal margin of episternum, including a 

 long, blackish, primary seta; surface with 2—3 setae and 4—5 light dots; 

 2 long setae, a primary and a secondary, near distal margin of epimeron; 

 9—10 thin, dark setae, most of them moderately long, further along distal 

 margin of posterior process. 



Prosternite (Figure 304) large, strongly sclerotized, its middle light 

 brownish, posterior and lateral parts black or dark reddish brown, with 

 several dark dots on a light background; brown lines laterally near 

 anterior margin. Horn narrow, yellowish, light at base. Mesosternites 

 (Figure 304) in form of 2 transverse, brown sclerites with 2 rows of 

 large, reddish dark brown dots at posterior margin; light sclerotized 

 dots lateral to sclerites. Metasternites with 8—9 dots situated on 

 pale brownish, partly fused sclerites; median dots larger, reddish; lateral 

 dots smaller, grayish. 



Primary ventral setae of fore femur, as in L. r h o m b i c u s, in form of 

 light thick spines, apical setae situated in about middle of femur and 

 larger than basal setae; posterior, subventral seta short, black, not 

 situated in middle between spines as in L. r ho mb i c u s, but closer to
