head. Antennae alike in the two sexes, about twice as long as thorax ; 
scape ochreous, flagellum dark brown, base of the first and tips of first three 
or four joints ochreous ; pubescence inconspicuous, rather shorter than 
a of joints ; each flagellar joint with a single long hair and one 
pud at base. Thoraz ochreous-brown, darker in female than. in male, 
which is somewhat darker; postnotum with dark median stripe. Tuber- 
culate pits and pseudosutural foveae absent. Abdomen brownish-ochreous, 
with narrow dark-brown lateral stripes, hind-margins of tergites narrowly 
pale; transverse Ag emn areas long and conspicuous ; venter uniformly 
pale. Hypopygium—ninth segment forming a continuous ring, tergite 
with a median рөн. Tips of side-pieces with rather long and dense 
viden hair. Claspers inserted just before tips of side-pieces, in shape 
resembling those of L. cyatheti. MPO ti with pubescent ventro-basal 
lobes, somewhat as in L. cyatheti. There are apparently two pairs of 
strong parameres, though one pair might perhaps be regarded as dorso 
basal lobes of the side-pieces. Legs rather light brown; femora with two 
dark-brown rings, the second one close to tip, leaving extreme tip pale, 
area between dark rings paler than ground-colour. Tibial spurs rather 
stout, as long as diameter of tibia. Wings brownish-tinged, with cei 
twelve more or less light-brown spots, as in figure. Venation much a 
in L. cyatheti, but Sc, and R,+, are rather longer, and Rs is less distinctly 
spurred. No bristles on ure peers s dark brown, tip of knob paler.

Differs from L. chrysorrhoea as follows: Median stripe of postnotum 
blacker, broader at base. Hypopygium with claspers rather differently 
shaped and inserted at tips of side-pieces, which are without dense golden 
hairs at tip; basal lobes of side-pieces not split; also other differences as 
in figure. Sc, farther removed from tip of Se, placed before apex of Rs; 
dark spots over Sc, and tip of Sc, separate and distinct.
