Remarks
- Systematics: Borchsenius did not know the identity of L. formicarum when he described L. terrestris. His description was based on one female collected in 1925, during the last moult, Therefore, he interpret4ed that the species had "small preopercular pores on the dorsum." (Pellizzari and Fontana, 2002)
- Structure: Living adult female orange, elongate, moderately convex with short anal cleft. Slide mounted specimen, elongate elliptical 3.3-5,7 mm long and 2.0-3.8 mm wide. (Pellizzari and Fontana, 2002)
- Biology: Found in England in nest of the ant Formica nigra (Newstead, 1893a). Develops one annual generation on grasses in Poland; overwinters as male second-instar nymph and female second or third-instar nymph; reproduction bisexual; mating and oviposition above ground in May (Boratynski et al., 1982).
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female, first-instar nymph, female second and third-instar nymph, male second-instar nymph, male pupa, male prepupa and male test by Boratynski et al. (1982). Description and illustration of adult female, first-instar nymph, female second and third-instar nymph, male second-instar nymph by Pellizzari & Fontana (2002). Description of adult female and first-instar nymph by Borchsenius (1957).
