The DORSIGERA -Group 



Hind femur below with broad basal tooth followed by 7 to about 15 smaller or 

 at least narrower teeth. Apical spine of hind tibia moderate, its tarsal side concave, 

 top formed by a relatively short outer spur. Upper edge of hind coxa subhorizontal, 

 nearly straight, more or less carinate, posteriorly thin and often broadly lobe-like 

 with the margin usually serrate, but never forming a conspicuous tooth. Pronotum 

 convex, its hind margin raised, premarginal carina sharp, also discal carina usually 

 distinct although then rather low. Dorsellum (of metanotum) more or less bidentate 

 or at least carinate and sub-bilobed (L. japonica). In female ovipositor often 

 long, reaching at least base of fifth tergite (L. biguetina). In male gaster anteriorly 

 not unusually narrowed, sternites of medium width.
