Remarks.
This record was initially based on a single female specimen and was tentatively identified as
L. inaequalis
(
Marshall
et al
. 2007
)
. Recent rearing studies have produced additional specimens and the initial identification of this species has been confirmed. This species was reared from mud collected fresh from a tortoise wallow in the agricultural zone (Reserva Pájaro Brujo) on Santa Cruz (Lehnen
et al
. unpubl.).
