Description. Size. Male. Length of pronotum 1.60–1.79 (mean 1.70) mm, length of tegmina 3.46–4.13 (mean 3.69) mm. (N = 10/10, specimens from Sardinia; specimens from Italy and Sicily slightly smaller). Female. Length of pronotum 1.79–1.92 (mean 1.84) mm, length of tegmina 2.05–2.37 (mean 2.16) mm. (N = 8/5).

Wings. Male. ( Fig. 19H,J View FIGURE 19 ) Tegmina: Long, almost reaching the end of the abdomen, apex obliquely rounded. Hindwings: Increasing in breadth towards apically, apex with a rather deep median concavity or steplike excision on one side. Female. ( Fig. 19I,K View FIGURE 19 ) Tegmina: Apical border usually slightly concave, occasionally almost straight. Hindwings: as in male.

Male abdomen. Tergites. Fig. 19A–G. T View FIGURE 19 6 View FIGURE 6 shows a unique character combination: anterior border mesally strongly produced, transversal ridge present but with a wide median gap, distribution of the large spatular bristles restricted to the posterior half of the tergite surface, laterally with a pair of small deepenings, the anterior one forming a shallow swale ( Figs. 1B View FIGURE 1 , 2B View FIGURE 2 , 4A,E View FIGURE 4 , 19C View FIGURE 19 ); for more details see under characters of the genus. T7. Pit size: largest with size 2–3 ( Fig. 21I View FIGURE 21 ). Anterior pit wall (aw) in its structure considerably deviating from the usual composition: the strongly sclerotized area sa —in the other species of the genus forming the uppermost part of the anterior pit wall—is not integrated into the wall, but forms a horizontally mounted sclerite stripe anteriorly adjacent to the pit opening ( Fig. 20A,B View FIGURE 20 ); posteriorly it bends over in a sharp edge to the rectangularly descending proper pit wall; the latter immediately below the edge often slightly excavated (ec in Fig. 21D View FIGURE 21 ); stabilising bracelet s narrow ( Fig. 21E,H View FIGURE 21 ). Posterior pit wall (pw) with a pair of well developed hemispherical bulges (bu, Figs. 20B View FIGURE 20 , 21C,D View FIGURE 21 ). Glandular pouches (gp) very long, surpassing the anterior border of T7 for more than the length of T7 measured at the lateral border, posteriorly ending in a very narrow tailpiece (tp, Fig. 21F View FIGURE 21 ); tubules (tu) very long, reaching far beyond the lateral borders of T7 ( Fig. 19D View FIGURE 19 ), near the tailpieces of the pouches opening into the pit (ot, Fig. 21F View FIGURE 21 ). Genital hook with a relatively normally proportioned shaft, the latter below the apical process strongly bulged out ( Fig. 19L–N View FIGURE 19 ).

Colouration of male tegmina. Lightly coloured stripe between dark stripes unusually narrow ( Figs. 19H View FIGURE 19 , 21A View FIGURE 21 ).

Distribution. The species is widely distributed on the Italian islands Sardinia and Sicily; from the Italian peninsula it is only known from three localities near the border between Toscana and Latium. The distribution in Algeria seems to be restricted to the most eastern part near the border to Tunesia, with several localities near the Mediterranian coast, in the further surroundings of Annaba, and some localities further inland in the region of Batna. Whether the older report from Saida, far in the West, really concerns this species is doubtful; for this locality L. longitubulata has also to be taken into consideration. The occurrence of the species in California USA, detected by R.Edler, is certainly adventitious.
