Description— Female L. punctatus have faint apical hair bands and are usually brown rather than black in colour. Males of this species are distinguishable from most species of Leioproctus by the angulate ventral area of the gena, a feature shared by L. obscurus . L. punctatus is usually larger and paler than L. obscurus . The genitalia, S8 and in particular S7 distinguish the 2 species. For male S7–8 and genitalia see figs 94–96. The known distribution overlaps in part that of L. obscurus , collections of both have been mostly at similar times of the year.
