The above description has been drawn 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 1859, p. 336. It stands 
near, as he says, to the genera Huryqaster and Grapliosoma, 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.
