Van Kampen, 1909
Holotype
: ZMA 5823, according to
Van Tuijl (1995)
. Type locality:

This name is currently synonymised with
L. eucnemis
. We have examined the
holotype
, a female measuring 61.6 mm, and it agrees in all respects with the description of
L. eucnemis
. Our observations support the present synonymy with
L. eucnemis
(
