Description.
Male
(
Fig. 4A
). Length 2.51. Head slightly longer than wide, HL 0.60, HW 0.57; eyes each composed of about 30 facets. Antennal club as in
Fig. 5A
. Pronotum (
Fig. 5B
) about as long as wide, PL 0.58, PW 0.59, with round lateral margins. Elytra wider than long, EL 0.71, EW 1.02. Metaventral processes long, pointed apically (
Fig. 5C
). Protibiae with indistinct apical spur (
Fig. 5D
), protrochanters and profemora simple (
Fig. 5E
), mesotrochanters (
Fig. 5F
) with short and blunt triangular ventral protuberance, metatrochanters (
Fig. 5G
) with short truncate ventral protuberance curled. Abdomen large, AL 0.62, AW 1.01. Sternite IX as in
Fig. 5H
. Aedeagus length 0.46; with apically asymmetric median lobe (
Figs. 5I–K
).
Female.
Unknown.
Comparative notes.
The species is placed as a member of the
L. cardialis
group (speciesgroups defined in
YIN et al. 2011
). It shares with
L. huapingensis
sp. nov.
(described below) and
L. megalobus
Yin & Li, 2011
the long metaventral process not being apically bifurcate. The tuft of dense setae at the pronotal and elytral basolateral margins of
L. fortunatus
sp. nov.
separates the species from all other members of the
L. cardialis
group.
Etymology.
The species name reflects the joyfulness when the single male was discovered.
Biology.
The individual was collected by sifting leaf litter along a path at mid-altitude of the mountain (
Fig. 8C
).
