This appears to be a rather variable species; there are 
four specimens in front of me and they all differ as regards 
the shape and size of the spots. In two the median spots are 
situated about midway between the suture and the margin, 
whilst in the others they are entirely absent. The subapical 
spots are fairly regular, and are placed quite close to the 
suture but do not touch it. On the head the interocular 
depression varies, the two shallow foveae being more conspicu- 
ous on some specimens than on others. In Lea’s table of 
Lemidia this species would be inserted after flavifrons as HU.
