DIAGNOSIS: This species resembles
L. dwellingup
in having a highly elaborated protrusion on the male palpal femur, but can be distinguished by the smaller protrusion and embolus in males (figs. 186, 187) and the longer epigynal midpiece in females (fig. 188).
MALE: Total length 5.1. Abdominal dorsum as in
L. cylindrata
; coxae and anterior femora orange, other leg segments yellow, unmarked. Palpal femur relatively small, with elaborate, pointed ventral protrusion; retrolateral tibial apophysis triangular, excavat ed, situated on dorsal edge of segment (fig. 187); tegulum globose, extending to only about onefifth length of tibia, embolar base short, wide, triangular, tegulum extending behind embolus and conductor (fig. 186).
FEMALE: Total length 6.7. Coloration as in male. Epigynum with relatively narrow, flat, daggershaped midpiece, lateral margins almost semicircular (fig. 188); spermathecal bulbs round, situated on extremely long, medially situated ducts (fig. 189).
