Diagnosis

Females are similar to L. (H.) eidmanni (Blüthgen, 1930) . According to Sakagami & Tadauchi (1995), this species is only separated from L. (H.) eidmanni by the metasomal terga without distinct apical fimbriae. In contrast, in L. (H.) eidmanni, the metasomal terga have more or less dense and welldeveloped apical fimbriae.
