(?, Brazil). Previously unknown females are described for L. anchicaya Galiano, 1984, L. diversus Galiano, 1980 and L. reductus Peckham et Peckham, 1896; these species are also redescribed and figured on the basis of both sexes. Female of L. vinocurae Galiano, 1996 is illustrated and redescribed as well. Six species are figured: L. convexus Banks, 1909 (?), L. lancetillae Galiano, 1980 (?), L. leucomelas Mello-Leitão, 1917 (??), L. malinche Galiano, 1980 (?), L. miniaceus Peckham et Wheeler, 1889 (?), and L. tristis Peckham et Wheeler, 1889 (?).
