Comment:

Except for its slightly smaller body size, this evidently undescribed species is similar to L. parvitergale in external characters. It is distinguished, however, by the much shorter median portion of the female tergite IX and the much longer female tergite X. The female terminalia are similar to those of the smaller L. tianmushanense WATANABE, 1999 . For illustrations of L. tianmushanense see PENG et al. (2012a).
