Holotype: ♀. Bolivia, Cochabamba, Germain (MNHN). Paratypes: 3 specimens. Bolivia: Departamento de Cochabamba, Cochabamba (MNHN, 1; WOPC, 1). Peru: Departamento de Amazonas, 5 km N Pomacocha, on road to Rioja, 7-8-X-1964, 2,000 m, P. C. Hutchison & J. K. Wright (CASC, 1).

Diagnosis: The members of this species superficially resemble those of L. boyaca, but in L. cochabamba specimens the elytral punctures extend to the elytral apex.

Description: Size: Length 5.0 mm; width 2.0 mm. Form: As in Fig. 77. Integument: Cranium and thorax dark castaneous; antenna brown; mouthparts mostly testaceous, terminal maxillary and labial palpomeres and mandibles brown; legs mostly brown, proximal region of prothoracic femur testaceous, distal region of profemur, remaining femora and all tibiae brown, tarsi testaceous; pterothorax brown; elytra mostly castaneous, with posthumeral and postmedial angular fasciae, apex testaceous. Head: Cranium coarsely punctate, antennal funicular antennomeres subfiliform (Fig. 21), capitulum lax, antennomeres 9 and 10 triangular, antennomere 11 globose; eyes small, frons wide (EW/FW 15/40); last maxillary and labial palpomere subsecuriform. Thorax: Pronotum (Fig. 47) with angular tubercle at sides, disc coarsely punctate, with 7 small knobs; elytral asetiferous punctures substriate, punctures extend sparsely to elytral apex, epipleural margin not serrulate near elytral apex. Abdomen: Pygidium scutiform.

Variation: Size: Length 3.8-6.0 mm; width 1.3-2.3 mm. Except for body size the available specimens are quite homogeneous.

Distribution (Fig. 71): This species is known from Peru and Bolivia.

Etymology: The trivial name, cochabamba, constitutes a noun in apposition and refers to the type locality.
