Other material examined
MEXICO – Yucatán • 1 ♂; Alfonso Caso , 10 km W of Tzucacab; [20.08° N, 89.15° W]; 12 Feb. 1987; Charles D. Michener leg.; ex Viguiera dentata ; SEMC GoogleMaps .
Remarks
Rare on the Yucatán Peninsula. The identification of this species is somewhat uncertain because only a single male was discovered in the Yucatán Peninsula, while the holotype is a female. The specimen analysed is believed to be L. deceptor and not the male of L. tropicior based on the relatively long face and moderately dense mesoscutum punctures (i = 1–2 pd), which agree more closely with the holotype of L. deceptor than with L. tropicior . Furthermore, both these species were described from the same type locality, so it is assumed that if one occurs on the Yucatán Peninsula, the other is also likely to occur there.
