Notes
From the description and key of LAUTERBACH I cannot see sufficient characters to separate L. heterodoxa from L. tuberculata, an opinion inferred by LAUTERBACH himself (). No extant type material of L. heterodoxa has been traced. Both taxa were only known from single collections at the time of LAUTERBACH.
