Notes

A similarity in antennal structure to Syriolytta Kaszab , probably is convergent; the two genera are distinguished by several characters of the head, mouthparts and genitalia.

The synonymy of L. uzbekistanus Kaszab, 1981 , with semipurpureus Reitter, 1902, suggested by Dvorak (1983), is not accepted.
