If I recall correctly

it was small and has a distinct metallic sheen that I couldn't capture with a camera, not sure if that helps.

thanks; the size is not used anywhere in the key to spp.

members of this genus are all small, and specific epithets are sometimes used ironically... or sarcastically -- there's no rule against it, the author could have called it L. behemoth just as well...
