L. pellucida (Fabricius). 



Ent. Syst., iv, 7, 1794. 



A rather large stout species of a testaceous-white color with the 

 face, pleural pieces and abdomen mostly black. The male generally 

 has a transverse fulvous vitta on the base of the tergum. The 

 clear white frontal carinae on a black ground are a conspicuous 

 character. This imported species is distributed throughout the 

 northern states and Canada from the Atlantic to Colorado and 

 British Columbia.

 L. puella Van Duzee. 



Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., v, 250, 1897. 



A small slender species, mostly black with the frontal carinae 

 and hind margin of the pronotum white. The elytra are whitish- 

 hyaline with a longitudinal fuscous mark on the apex of the clavus. 

 This species is distributed throughout the United States and sub- 

 tropical America and has been reported from the Hawaiian Islands 

 and Australia. 



New Haven, 16 Oct., 1903 (H. L. V.), 23 June, 1904 (P. L. B.). 

 L. basivitta Van Duzee. 



Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., ix, 202, 1909. 



Has the general aspect of puella, but here the frontal carinae and 

 hind margin of the pronotum are scarcely paler and the commis- 

 sure wants the fuscous mark at the apex of the clavus. Found 

 throughout the eastern states and undoubtedly occurs in 

 Connecticut.
