Identification.
Males of
L. hyalinus
were separated
from those of
L. aduncus
based on the shape of abdominal segment VIII. Both species display a posteroventral projection, however, the projection is much longer in the former, extending at least to the same level of the posterodorsal margin of the same segment. Females of
L. hyalinus
can be confused with those of
L. aduncus
at first sight but could be distinguished from these based on the last abdominal laterotergite, which is truncate at apex, not projected beyond the corresponding mediotergite (
Nieser 1970
).
