It differs from L. pusillus and all other members of the genus by the following character combination: the median portion of clypeus less produced, its emargination wide medially and lateral teeth slightly blunter (Fig. 2), frontal fovea (Fig. 3) much larger than the anterior ocellus and bigger than that in L. pusillus (Fig. 37).</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The specific name edentatus is derived from two Latin words: e - and dentatus, referring to propodeum posteriorly on each side without a tooth above the apical spine formed by the submarginal carina.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AFBEFB360933853314152DA457C3DA7B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
