Remarks.

This species is very similar to L. semipunctata according to the original description and photographs of the holotype, but differs by the black femora with its middle brownish red in ventral view; sides of the abdomen are black. In L. semipunctata , the femora are brownish red; sides of the abdomen are brownish red.
