Remarks. Dirsh (1958) considered that L. punctuosa (Stål, 1876) , L. sparrmani and L. nasuta could be forms of the same species; however, material here available (more abundant than that examined by Dirsh) allows to separate L. sparrmani and L. nasuta by the pronotal shape. L. sparrmani seems to be endemic to Namibia, where L. nasuta has not been found to date.
