Type locality: Java, Indonesia.

Redescription. General appearance similar to other congeners. Tegmen very broad, about 20mm. Male stridulatory file length about 2.45–2.48 mm. Stridulatory file straight, composed of about 70–75 widely arranged teeth, among which 60–65 teeth gradually becoming larger from base to apex, and about 10 poorly developed teeth lying at apical one-sixth. Male cerci densely hairy, short, clavate and incurved, with obtuse, granulated and verrucate apex.

Measurements of male (mm). Length of body: 54.30; length of pronotum: 8.46; largest height of pronotum: 5.52; length of tegmen: 41.90; largest width of tegmen: 19.75; length of hind wing: 44.50; length of anterior femur: 5.81; length of posterior femur: 16.96; length of posterior tibiae: 18.82.

Examined specimens: 2♂, Malaysia, Saba Trus Madi Mt. N 5.4428°, E 116.4514° 1180m, 2017. IV.5–9. Coll. Chao Wu, ( IZCAS); 1♂, Malaysia, Saba Trus Madi Mt. N 5.4428°, E 116.4514° 1180m, 2016. IV.5–9. Coll. Feng Yuan, ( IZCAS).

Discussion. The type of this species was described from Java, and also recorded from Borneo, Singapore ( Tan, 2014), and Malaysia. In China, this species was previously recorded from Tibet and Yunan (Liu 1993; Jin & Xia, 1994; Kang et al. 2014), but those specimens are misidentified. In fact, specimens collected from Tibet and Yunnan belong to two other new species. Currently, L. ornatipennis Serville was only found in Malaysia.
