Styli located at right angles; the right is transversal and the left is parallel to the body longitudinal axe as in L. clara, but it differs from the latter by a slender via (Figs. 20–21), not strongly curved apically. Scale zone sz (Figs. 19, 70) presents a patch of long hairs located in a soft cuticle area.
