1(0) Antennae situated distinctly closer to apex of labrum than to anterior body margin. Large marginal setae on head twice as long as those on lateral margin. Medial parts of thorax without long ventral setae.......... L. americana Koteja & Howell, 1979
- Antennae situated half-way between apex of labrum and anterior body margin, or slightly closer to labrum. Large marginal setae on head and lateral margin subequal in length. Medial parts of thorax with long ventral setae..................... 2
2(1) Inner edge of tibia with setae subequal to or shorter than tibia width............................................. 3
- Inner edge of tibia with setae at least twice as long as tibia width................................................ 7
3(2) Marginal setae all subequal in length, with rounded apices. Antenna 290–360 μm long... L. minima Koteja & Howell, 1979
- Marginal setae on head and anal lobes conspicuously longer than other marginal setae, with pointed apices. Antenna 360–440 μm long............................................................................................. 4
4(3) Two of apical marginal setae on head, and apical setae of anal lobe, thick, each with base twice as thick as that of other marginal setae or more......................................................................... L. rajae Kozár, 1981
