Scale bars in millimeters. Material examined. Holotype of L. pinicola , female: UNITED STATES : VA, Fairfax Co. , Vienna , 20.XI.1941 , J. C. Bridwell , USNMENT01059099 (deposited in USNM) . Holotype of L. piniella , female: UNITED STATES : CO, Jefferson Co. , Evergreen , 30.VIII.1937 , USNMENT01059210 (deposited in USNM) . Comments. The treatment of L. pinicola and L. piniella as different species is perplexing, given that they were described in the same publication. The key to species in McGown (1979) separated them on the basis of the scape "long and slim" versus "stouter, not noticeably long and slim". Our examination reveals that the shapes of the scape in these species are essentially identical (Figures 3 , 5 )
