Lamarckiana Kirby, 1910

According to Dirsh (1958) the main characters of the genus Lamarckiana are the five-segmented flagellum of the antenna, not expanded margins of the hind femur with an excurved upper margin, and the pronotal carina excised at the basal transverse sulcus in males and crossed by it in females. Main differences from Lobosceliana are in the number of segments of the flagellum (4 in Lobosceliana ), the upper margin of the hind femora (straight and expanded in Lobosceliana ) and the presence of the transversal sulcus (absent in Lobosceliana ). However, the number of segments in the flagellum revealed to be a fairly variable character in Lobosceliana (see also Hemp 2013).
