Diagnosis.
This species is most similar to
L
.
forcipula
sp. nov.
in having the pleura with a brown, longitudinal stripe above (
Figs. 7F
,
8C
), the wing entirely hyaline (
Figs. 3E
,
4A
), the colour patterns of abdominal tergites in females (
Figs. 10H
,
11E
), and the shape and pubescence of epandrium, cercus, and surstylus (
Figs. 28A
,
32A
), but can be distinguished from the latter in having the postocellar distinct (
Fig. 8A
); aedeagus straight, ventrolaterally with a long, apicodorsally acute process (
Fig. 32D
).
