Diagnosis. Gena with dark setae only; basicosta brown; upper calypter light tan, lower dark brown in both sexes; one or more rows of stout setae below and behind postocular row; presutural area of thorax with heavy whitish microtomentum. This species can be confused with specimens of L. ochricornis with discolored and darkened calypters. See discussion in identification section under L. ochricornis .

Description. Male. Frons broad 0.05 (0.045–0.07/7) of head width at narrowest; both anterior and posterior facets are small; the anterior eye facets are 1.8x posterior facets (0.43mm vs. 0.24). The relative size of both anterior and posterior facets for both sexes is almost identical (0.43mm, 0.30mm in female) (Table 1), as in L. rognesi . Fronto-orbital plate bright silvery, relatively broad, frontal setae extend up to just below ocellar triangle; parafacial silvery from above with anteroventral corner orange, dull orange from below; gena with dark setae, anterior edge orange, remainder of gena dark silvery; postgena dark silvery, anterior half with dark setae, remainder with pale setae. Frontal vitta dull orange, extending half the way up frons to where fronto-orbital plates meet; antenna with upper pedicel orange-brown, apex orange, first flagellomere gray-orange. Ocellar triangle moderate size, black with short setae, anterior and posterior ocelli about equal in size. Supravibrissal setae ascend about onethird up facial ridge. Intrapostocular area bright silvery, one or more rows of stout, black setae below postocular row; upper edge of occiput and a vertical line in the center polished black, the remainder with whitish microtomentum and pale setae. Thoracic spiracles are brown and medium size; legs are reddish-brown; proepisternal depression usually with tan setae, but occasionally nearer pale; disc of upper calypter light tan with tan rim, disc of lower calypter brown with tan rim; base of wing with cells and veins darkened; basicosta dark brown and tegula black; subcostal sclerite orange with pale orange pubescence; dorsum of thorax with heavy microtomentum on presutural area, remainder polished. Abdomen usually with rear one-third of T4 and all of T5 polished. Surstylus short, broad and parallel-sided, cerci short, tapering to a point (Figs. 59, 60). Phallus, hypandrium, pre- and postgonite, ejaculatory sclerite, and sternites as in Figs. 83, 84, 117–119, 133 respectively.

Female. Characters similar to males except frons 0.25 (0.24–0.27/4) of head width at narrowest; facets almost identical to males (anterior facets 0.43mm, posterior facets 0.30mm). The ovipositor and spermathecae as in Figs. 145, 157.

Discussion. Males of this species can be confused with males of L. ochricornis based on color of upper calypter, see discussion under that species. Other species characters should be checked if species identity is uncertain. Six specimens of this species were barcoded; they occurred in a clearly defined group, separate from L. ochricornis (Fig. 161).

Etymology. The species name is from the Latin vulgata, one of its meanings is widespread. This species is widespread in South America from Venezuela to Argentina.
