Comments.
Labomimus venustus
is here transferred to
Labomimus
based on the presence of a median metaventral fovea. This species is placed in the group with
Labomimus paratorus
Yin & Li,
Labomimus tibialis
(Yin & Li), and
Labomimus torus
(Yin, Li & Zhao) based on the similar modifications of the male legs, and the strongly asymmetric aedeagal median lobe.
