Fore femur with moderately stout bristles; costal vein broken or weakened just beyond humeral crossvein, and a definite costal break just before apex of R 1; costal vein reaching M 1 vein; subcostal vein strong basally, weaker apically, curving toward and fusing with R 1 far from apex, the latter somewhat thickened at its union with costal vein. Anal cell well developed; anal vein ceasing abruptly far from wing margin; last section of CuA 1 usually failing to reach wing margin, its length a little more than half that of crossvein dm-cu; bm-cu crossvein absent or partially present as a stub; male genitalia large and complex, bent beneath abdomen. Female abdomen long and slender, tapering at apex slightly telescoped.	en	Marques, Dayse W. A., Rafael, José A.

03FF87C9FFF4D320D9FAF9BDFEF6F84B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The male specimens fits Hennig’s (1969) description and as they were collected around 50 km far away the type locality (Avispas, Madre de Dios) of L. longiterebra, they are being considered conspecific. According to Hennig (1969), L. longiterebra differs from other species known by “ the unusual length of the female ovipositor (the 7 th abdominal segment): this is nearly as long as the entire rest of the abdomen, while their length does not exceed the 5 th and 6 th abdominal length in other species ”. Only male specimens were collected using Malaise traps.	en	Marques, Dayse W. A., Rafael, José A.
