The 7th abdominal dorsal process bears a simple, broadly-subtriangular lobe ( Fig. 19 ); subtle anterolateral lobes present on some specimens. The specilla are broad basally, overall shape subtriangular and bearing prominent, laterallydirected tubercles distally ( Figs. 20–22 ). The subanal lobes are subequal in length to the specilla; near uniformly-narrow through length, tapering little but recurved anteriorly in the distal half, especially at tips ( Figs. 21–22 ).

Distribution. Canada : LB, NB, NS, ON, PQ. USA : CT, MA, MD, ME, MN, NJ, NY, OH, PA, WI, WV ( DeWalt et al. 2015 ), NC, NH, VA, VT (new state records). Remarks. The dorsal abdominal process of this species is most similar to L. carolinensis . The specilla of L. tenella are distally truncate ( Figs. 21– 22 ) compared to the distally-subtriangular tips of L. carolinensis ( Figs. 4, 7, 9 ). The subanal lobes of L. tenella are sharply-recurved at the tips ( Figs. 21–22 ), contrasting with the gradually-recurved lobes in the distal half on L. carolinensis ( Figs. 4, 6‒9 ).
