Diagnosis.
Closely related to
L. tsurui
Kawashima, 2007
from which it differs in body coloration showing longitudinal yellow stripe on each elytron, broader aedeagus, and parameral apices widely separated (
Fig. 55
).
Redescription.
Body yellow, only antennae, scutellum, basal 2/3 of elytral suture and posterior 5/6 of lateral elytral margins dark brown (i.e. each elytron with longitudinal yellow stripe medially). Eyes small, hemispherical, distance between eyes
2x
longer than eye diameter. Terminal maxillary palpomere
10x
longer than penultimate palpomeres. Antennae filiform, reaching over elytral humeri, antennomeres 3–11 decreasing distally. Pronotum 1.8x wider than long, posterior angles triangularly projected posteriad. Elytra widest in basal third, elytral sutural margins divergent in posterior quarter, each elytron 2.8x longer than humeral width (
Fig. 7
). Terminal abdominal tergum emarginate distally. Terminal and penultimate terga separated by narrow opening, partly overlapping laterally, proximal projection of penultimate tergum as long as combined length of terminal and penultimate tergum (
Fig.38
). Phallus as long as 4/5 of parameres, parameres slightly angular laterodistally (
Fig. 55
), parameral apices broadly separated, internal thorn of parameral apex situated terminally, base of phallus with 2 strong angular projections. Body length:
6.25 mm
, humeral width:
2.4 mm
