( Figs. 11 View FIGURES 10–18 , 51 View FIGURES 44–51 )
Type locality. Trinidad, Port of Spain .
Description. Holotype female. Dorsal coloration. Head, juga and antennal segments I–III black, IV missing; tylus yellow; pronotum black with collar, callar area, anterolateral margins, humeral angles and slender longitudinal stripe across midline of pronotal disk from callar region to posterior border yellowish orange; scutellum black with slender yellowish orange longitudinal stripe across midline until apex; clavus black with basal angles, inner margin near scutellum and claval commissure yellowish orange; corium black with basal angle, anterior half of costal margin and apical margin yellow to yellowish orange; hemelytral membrane dark brown; connexival segments III–IX and dorsal abdominal segments III–IX orange. Ventral coloration. Head and buccula yellow; midline of head black; rostral segments I–IV black; pro-, meso- and metasternum yellowish orange; propleuron included the acetabulae yellowish orange with shiny black mark; mesopleuron shiny black with acetabulae and posterior border yellowish orange; metapleuron and acetabulae yellowish orange with shiny black oval spot at upper border; anterior and posterior lobe of metathoracic peritreme yellowish orange; fore and mid legs black to reddish brown (hind leg broken); abdominal sterna III–VII, genital plates and pleural abdominal margins III–VII yellowish orange; rim of abdominal spiracle black. Structure. Head. Antennal segment III uniformly elongate, slender; rostrum reaching posterior margin of mesosternum. Thorax. Pronotum. Trapeziform; anterolateral and posterolateral margins almost smooth; posterior border straight; humeral angles subacute, not exposed.
Measurements. Female. Body length 18.16; head length 1.86; head width across eyes 2.68; interocular distance 1.24; interocellar distance 0.49; preocular distance 0.93; length antennal segments I 3.28, II 2.35, III 1.98, IV missing; length rostral segments I 1.42, II 1.55, III 1.30, IV 1.05; pronotum total length 3.96; maximum width across humeral angles 6.38; scutellum length 2.23, width 2.41.
Male. Unknown.
Type material. HOLOTYPE male: TRINIDAD: Port of Spain, 1–i–1898, Prof. O Bürger ( ZIZM).
Etymology. From the Latin “fundatus ” meaning firm, grounded.
Discussion. Differential diagnosis. Like L. ducalis Stål ( Figs. 3 View FIGURES 1–9 , 42 View FIGURES 37–43 ) and L. navus here described ( Figs. 12 View FIGURES 10–18 , 69 View FIGURES 68–75 ) are the only known species with yellow to yellowish orange slender longitudinal stripe across midline of pronotal disk until apex of scutellar disk (in L. navus not reach the apex of scutellar disk that keep black color). In L. ducalis and L. navus the corium have a completely yellow to yellowish transverse fascia absent in L. fundatus sp.nov. ( Figs. 11 View FIGURES 10–18 , 51 View FIGURES 44–51 ). The fore and mid leg of L. ducalis are bicolorous while on the other species it is entirely black. In L. navus the propleuron, coxae and trochanters are yellow while on L. fundatus the propleuron is yellowish orange with shiny black mark and coxae and trochanters black to reddish brown.
