Discussion. Differential diagnosis.
Related to
L. fasciatus
(Dallas)
and
L. proximus
Breddin
by having a wide complete yellow transverse fascia on corium, the pronotal disk black with bluish green reflections with collar, callar region, anterior lobe of pronotal disk and anterolateral margins yellow (humeri black with bluish green reflections), and antennal segment III uniformly elongate and slender. In
L. navus
sp. nov.
,
pronotal and scutellar disk has a yellow slender stripe across midline, while on the other species it is absent; middle femora bicolored, dorsal surface black with bluish green reflections and ventrally included the spines yellow, while the middle femora of
L. fasciatus
are yellow with posterior border black and entirely black with bluish green reflections in
L. proximus
. The trochanters are yellow in
L. fasciatus
and
L. navus
, and brown in
L. proximus
. The hind femora in both,
L. navus
and
L. proximus
are bicolorous, dorsally black with bluish green reflections and ventrally yellow, in contrast with
L. fasciatus
,
where are yellow with only the apical border brown.
