longer than the 2nd segmeut ; the lateral keels indistinct; 

 the 2nd a nd following segments smooth, almost impunctate; 

 the gastrocoeli shallow, indistinct, smooth. 



This species cornes close to L. ferruginea, but is smaller 

 and more slenderly built and has the abdominal pétiole more 

 slender and longer compared with the 2nd segment; other- 

 wise may be known by ferruginea having the gastrocoeli 

 more distinctly defined and striated, by the areola not being 

 bounded behind by a smooth curved keel; the areola is larger, 

 its sides bulge out more and are more roundly curved.
