Female
holotype
from Moorilyanna Native Well, 268529S, 1338019E,
South Australia
(

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the
type
locality.
DIAGNOSIS: This species resembles
L. spec
in having a moderately long, wide retrolateral tibial apophysis; males can be distinguished by the distally pointed (rather than truncated) retrolateral tibial apophysis (fig. 131), females by the narrow epigynal midpiece and long posterior spermathecal stalks (figs. 132, 133).
