Remarks

• Systematics: Adult females of L. latrobeus most resemble those of L. sagittisetus. The two species are sympatric in Lower Plenty, Victoria, and they share the following features: (i) a distinct cluster of loculate pores on the dorsum, near the margin between the metathorax and abdominal segment I; (ii) all dorsal setae minute and sagittate; and (iii) venter of each abdominal segment with one elongate submedial seta on each side. Adult females of L. latrobeus can be recognized by the restriction of the large dorsal macrotubular ducts to areas near the margin (in L. sagittisetus these ducts are present over much of the dorsum), the sagittate setae attached to the oral rims of the largest ducts (no setae on duct rims in L. sagittisetus), as well as the shape of the dorsal macrotubular ducts (constricted in L. latrobeus versus straight in L. sagittisetus), the number of size classes of macrotubular ducts (three inL. latrobeus versus two in L. sagittisetus) and the absence of microducts in L. latrobeus (present inL. sagittisetus). (Hardy, et al., 2011)
• Structure: Adult female: body outline lobate; length 1.4–4.1 mm, greatest width across mesothorax 4.0–4.8 mm. Eyes 38– 50 μm wide. Antennae seven-segmented; length 285–550 μm; with three hair-like setae on segment I, two hair-like setae on segment II, no hair-like setae on segment III, two hairlike seta on segment IV, one fleshy seta on segment V, two or three hair-like setae + one fleshy seta on segment VI and six hair-like setae + three fleshy setae on segment VII.
