Abstract
Ten species are recognized for the area treated, namely L. americanus (Leidy), uhleri (Montandon), annulipes (Herrich-Schaffer), medius (Guerin), delpontei De Carlo, colossicus (Stal), truxali Menke, angustipes (Mayr), maximus De Carlo, and griseus (Say). These are keyed, a synonymic bibliography is given for each species, and distribution maps are included. The biology of the genus is summarized, and there is a discussion of the general distribution picture with special emphasis on the West Indian fauna, which seems of twofold origin, derived partly from South America and partly from Central America.
