Systematics: Fernald (1903b) and Froggatt (1914, 1915) state that it was Cockerell who suggested the replacement name L. fulleri for L. elongata in 1902, however, it appears that Cockerell did not publish the new name (Fernald 1903b cites him as "in litt."). Therefore, Fernald is considered the author of the new name.
Structure: Female scale grey, very long and narrow. Adult female elongate, last segment broadly rounded and presenting the following characters, 6 conspicuous lobes, median pair wide, sides parallel, somewhat truncate with 2 small notches on the lateral margin near the apex; 2nd pair wide deeply incised on the lateral margin, apex of lobes truncate, lobule conical; 3rd pair short, wide with 2 small notches at the apex; beyond the 3rd lobes 2 thickenings of the margin; spines small; 2 hair-like plates between the median lobes, one between them and the 2nd lobes, a broader one between the 2nd and 3rd lobes and 2 tapering and conspicuous plates before the thickenings of the margin (Fuller, 1899).
General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Fuller (1899).
