| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| W. W. Korth 2010 | Small species similar in size to L. korthi, smaller than all other species except L. parvus; differs from L. korthi in having M1 the protocone never attaching to anterocone and in possessing a small anterostyle; differs from other species in having upper molars with a long but weak mesoloph that is much lower than the other lophs; differs from L. korthi and L. alicae in having a small spur present lingual to hypoconid on m1 within the posterior basin (as in L. nematodon and L. blacki); differs from L. nematodon and L. blacki in lacking a connection between the protoconid and anteroconid on m1. |
