C o m m e n t: The original description is based on five type specimens from "Nanairi, southern Aizu, Fukushima Pref., Honshu" ( WATANABE 2001b). Based on the similarly derived male sexual characters, L. kurosawai is evidently closely related to L. brachypterum SHARP 1889 . The above records reveal that the distribution of L. kurosawai is not particularly restricted. The altitudes range from 450 to 1150 m.
