March 2026: This genus has not been added to the multi-entry key.
Elongate-oblong, small to moderate-sized, ranging from 6.8-11.5 mm in length. Integument ferrugineous with pale testaceous and tawny pubescence. Head with frons subquadrate, about 2.5 times width of one lower eye lobe. Eyes with lower lobes large, oblong. Genae transverse, distinctly shorter than lower eye lobes. Antennal tubercles prominent, widely separated; tubercles not armed at apex. Antennae about 1.3 times longer than body (males); scape gradually expanded at apex; antennomere III straight or curved, feebly sinuate, slightly longer than scape, longer than antennomere IV. Pronotum subcylindrical, transverse, sides arcuate; disk with feebly elevated tubercles; sides with rounded lateral protuberance (L. pandolfi) or without protuberance (L. giuglarisi). Elytra attenuate to apices, humeri prominent; elytra with abundant pubescence, partially obscuring integument, pale testaceous pubescence extending from humeral angle to apex forming elongate “Y” pattern. Mesosternal process moderately emarginate. Metafemora moderate in length, about 1/3 as long as elytra.
