Diagnosis.
The differences between
L. pachycera
(Fig.
13
) and its congener
L. hel
(Fig.
14
) are that the former is larger than the latter; the dent of the postmedial line incurved above the cell, whereas the same dent in
L. hel
is deeper and incurved below the cell.
The male genitalia of
L. pachycera
(Fig.
27
) bear a long, robust, strongly sclerotized uncus; the gnathos is straight and pointed apically; the valva is narrow. However, in
L. hel
(Fig.
28
), the uncus is small and divided into two asymmetrical parts; the gnathos is slender, sinuous, and longer than
L. pachycera
; the valva is broad.
Bionomics.
The single male specimen was collected in late May to early June at an altitude of 1,450 m a.s.l. in a subtropical forest (Fig.
30
).
Distribution.
China (Xizang), India.
