description
ON James 1933; Maynard 1951 Remarks: According to Christiansen & Bellinger (1980, p. 939), old “ published records [of L. cinereus] are suspect because of confusion with other species ”. On the other hand, those of L. pallidus in the Nearctic “ are [also] unreliable because of possible confusion with other species, especially L. cinereus ” (Christiansen & Bellinger 1980, p. 952). It should be noted that the occurrence of true L. pallidus, said to be “ the commonest species of the genus in Nearctic collections ” by Christiansen & Bellinger (1980, p. 952), later became doubtful because “ none of the specimens we had identified as pallidus are in fact that species ” (Christiansen & Bellinger 1998, p. 1058). General distribution: Nearctic.
