Remarks:
This species contains to the complex of
L. ferruginea
and can be separated by the presence of small femoral teeth on all legs, and by relatively broad antennomeres. The available numerous Greek specimens of
L. ferruginea
possess all completely unarmed femora.
L. parvidens
is similar, but the antennomeres are longer and narrow.
Published localities:
Konstantinopel, Brussa (
Schuster 1916
).
