Identification
can usually be distinguished from the other pale sw.US species by the lateral dark vitta on the elytra; specimens with this vitta reduced to a postmedian spot resemble L. abdita (which is smaller and lacks a well-defined dark circumscutellar marking); L. guttula & L. perpallida are also largely pale but L. guttula has the apex of the elytra dark and L. perpallida lacks lateral dark markings on the elytra(1)
Range
sw.US (s.AZ‒c.TX) to Guatemala(1)(2)
