( Figs. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 9 , 12 View FIGURES 10 – 18 , 21 View FIGURES 19 – 26 , 31–32 View FIGURES 27 – 42. 27 , 47–48 View FIGURES 43 – 60 )
Type material. Holotype, male, “ NEPAL W: Kali G Khola, Tatopani, 1100–1400m, 14.–17.vi.1986, Dhawalagiri, Myagdi D., C. Holzschuh.” ( NHMB).
Diagnosis. Closely related to L. bajhangensis sp. nov. from which it differs in whole elytra dark brown ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 9 ) and male genitalia with phallus longer than parameres ( Fig. 47–48 View FIGURES 43 – 60 ).
Similar to L. montanus Wittmer , but easily distinguishable by yellow maxillary and labial palpi, U-shaped phallobase and each of parameral apices provided with a single thorn.
Description. Body finely densely pubescent. Maxillary and labial palpi, pronotum and legs yellow, head and antennomeres 1–2 brown, antennomeres 3–11, scutellum, and elytra dark brown to black. Eyes large, distance between eyes 1.7x longer than eye diameter. Terminal palpomeres maxillary and labial palpi, 8.5x longer than penultimate palpomere. Antennae filiform, antennomeres 3–10 trapezoidal, slightly diminishing in length, terminal palpomere longer than 10. Pronotum transverse, 1.6x wider than long, anterior angles widely rounded ( Fig. 21 View FIGURES 19 – 26 ). Elytral costae covered with pubescence, hardly visible, each elytron 3.8x longer than wide at humeri. Male terminal tergum rather pentagonal, lateral projection of penultimate tergum short, terminal and penultimate terga separated by slender opening, proximal projection of penultimate tergum as long as lateral projections of penultimate tergum ( Fig. 31–32 View FIGURES 27 – 42. 27 ). Distal margin of terminal sternum slightly emarginate. Male genitalia with phallus longer, or as long as parameres ( Fig. 47–48 View FIGURES 43 – 60 ), lateral margins of longitudinal plate of phallus convergent distally, inner margin of each paramera provided with distal thorn, parameral apices separated, base of phallus with 2 strong angular projections, phallobase U-shaped. Body length: 6.5 mm, humeral width: 2.5 mm. Etymology. Named in honor of the collector (C. Holzschuh, Austria).
