  This

  the

  This 
  species 
  has 
  a 
  general 
  resemblance 
  to 
  L. 
  uniformis, 
  the 
  antennal 
  structure 
  

   being 
  very 
  similar, 
  but 
  the 
  unusually 
  short 
  palpi 
  are 
  possessed 
  by 
  no 
  other 
  member 
  

   of 
  the 
  genus. 
  L. 
  brevipalpus 
  and 
  L. 
  hewitti 
  have 
  the 
  palpi 
  somewhat 
  short, 
  but 
  still 
  

   not 
  much 
  shorter 
  than 
  the 
  proboscis.
