The above description has been draAvn up from a single example, 

 and named by us after the talented author of the " Hemiptera Africana." 

 The genus is one invented by Barensprung, and fully characterized in 

 the Berlin Entomologische Zeitschrift for 1850, p. 336. It stands 

 near, as he says, to the genera Euri/gaster and Graphosoina, Lap. He 

 enumerates two species, one of which, from Sarepta, he describes as L. 

 inconspicuum, but the diagnosis is very brief and unsatisfactory ; the 

 other he simply refers to as from Egypt, and in the Eoyal Collection.
