Diagnosis.

Antennomeres 5-10 as long as wide, flattened. Anterior angles of pronotum protruding, pronotal disc with two rows of fine punctures. Humeral groove of elytra indistinct, punctures sparse and diminishing posteriorly, absent on apical 1/3. Lateral metasternum with a short strip of pubescence.

Redescription.

BL = 7.5-9.5 mm, BW = 3.5-4.0 mm. Body brownish red.

Head (Figs 11, 40A). Vertex flat, with a very shallow groove in the middle, sparsely punctate and pubescent laterally; frontoclypeal area triangular, lateral disc with sparse punctures and pubescent; labrum transverse, with sparse pubescent; antennae nearly 1/2 of body length, antennomeres 1-4 nearly globular, antennomere 2 shortest, antennomeres 5-10 as long as wide, antennomere 11 slender.

Pronotum (Figs 11, 40B). Anterior angles protruding, posterior angles not protruding; sides distinctly constricted in the middle; disc flat; middle of disc with two rows fine punctures. Scutellum triangular and pubescent.

Elytra (Figs 11, 30B). Humeri protruding, humeral groove and basal impression shallow; elytra without completely punctate striae, punctures sparse, diminishing posteriorly, absent on apical 1/3; intervals smooth; epipleura raised, with a row of fine punctures.

Mesosternum pubescent. Lateral metasternum with oblique strip of pubescence. Metepisternum densely pubescent (Fig. 40C).

Abdominal sternite (Fig. 30A). Lateral transverse impressions big and distinct on sternites 1-4, other areas of sternites 1-4 densely pubescent.

Leg (Fig. 30D). Femora with dense pubescence on the dorsal surface, with sparse pubescence on the ventral surface, without tooth.

Male genitalia (Fig. 54A-D). Ostium occupying 1/2 length of median lobe (Fig. 54A); apex sharp (Fig. 54B); tegmen Y-shaped, basal piece of tegmen oval and narrow, lateral lobes slightly sclerotized and combined with second connecting membrane; internal sac membranous, with distinct ventral sclerites, dorsal sclerite nearly membranous, ventral sclerite greatly long and tubular (= flagellum), median sclerite small (Fig. 54C, D).

Female reproductive organs (Fig. 61A-C). Tergites 8 and 9, sternites 8 and 9 sclerotized, posterior areas of tergite 8, sternite 8, and apodemes with pubescence, spiculum gastrale Y-shaped and long; ovipositor with dense pubescence, distal part of ovipositor cylindrical, long and with a protuberance; spermatheca simple and hooked.

Distribution

(Fig. 68). China (Hainan, Yunnan).

Host plant and habitat.

Unknown.

Remarks.

The species is most similar to L. yuae, but differs by the antenna being brownish red, without a metallic luster, and the antennomeres 7-10 as long as wide (Fig. 30D); the lateral transverse impressions are larger on the abdominal sternites 1-4 (Fig. 30A); the ventral sclerite is long and thin (Fig. 54C, D). (in L. yuae, the antenna is brownish red with a blue metallic luster, antennomeres 7-10 are distinctly longer than wide (Fig. 36D); lateral transverse impressions are very small on all sternites (Fig. 36A); and the ventral sclerite is shorter and thicker (Fig. 55C, D)).
