Vietnam (Northern Vietnam, Central Vietnam) ( Fig. 29 View Fig ).
Remarks
This species closely resembles L. bachmaensis sp. nov.; however, it can be distinguished by the following combined characteristics: frontal projection longer than above in lateral view (equal to shorter than above in L. bachmaensis sp. nov.); shorter temple, about 0.20 times as long as MOD (0.80 times as long as MOD in L. bachmaensis sp. nov.); pronotum as long as head width (much wider than head in L. bachmaensis sp. nov.); tooth of hindtarsal claw less than 0.2 times as long as hindtarsal claw (longer than 0.4 times as long as hindtarsal claw).
