Differential diagnosis.
HEBAUER (2002)
provided the following differential diagnosis for this species: ‘[…] extremely close to
L. jaechi
in body shape and colour, corresponding with that species also in its pubescent surface with irregular punctuation and in sutural stria [= parasutural furrow] recognizable barely in the apical fifth. The less extended dark colour of the elytra in contrast leaves besides the suture distinct yellow stripes and isolated spots. The basal piece [= phallobase] of the aedeagophore is distinctly shorter than in
L. jaechi
,
the parameres are much more slender, the median lobe surpasses the parameres’ (
Figs. 15-16
).
