Diagnosis.
Both sexes of
L
.
foveolatum
can be distinguished by parapsidal line deep and wide, equal to about three puncture diameters (
Fig. 15
B). Female
L
.
foveolatum
may be further distinguished by supraclypeal area strongly convex and lower paraocular area tessellate with sparse punctures (i=1–2d). They are most similar to
L. ceanothi
, which have parapsidal line narrow and lower paraocular punctures denser.
Male
L
.
foveolatum
have mesepisternal punctures distinct, and sometimes propodeal lateral surfaces punctate, too.
