Notes.
This runs to couplet 23 and to
L. obsignata
in Emden’s (1951) key. It differs by the broader male frons (at middle 3–4 times the width of a fronto-orbital plate), 7–11 frontal setae extending from lunule to level of anterior ocellus, abdominal tergite 5 with a broad median spot or vitta, and aristal plumes as wide as postpedicel. One male
paratype
dissected and illustrated.
