F, 5A, 5B, 8F, 11A, 11B, 19)
Diagnosis.
This species is very similar to
L
.
euryphylla
sp. nov.
in the shaped of paramere (
Fig. 19
C), and the patterns of wing and abdominal tergites (
Figs 2
F, 8F), but can be distinguished from the latter by having the aedeagus with numerous, minute, serrated processes on base expansion (
Fig. 19
D), the mesonotum yellowish brown anteromedially, dark brown posteromedially and laterally (
Fig. 5
A), the katepisternum mostly brownish (
Fig. 5
B).
Description.
Ocellar triangle dark brown, with ca. 3–7 setae above ocellar setae. Frons brown. Pedicel yellowish; first flagellomere yellowish brown. Clypeus dark brown. Mesonotum yellowish brown anteromedially, dark brown posteromedially and laterally in
holotype
(
Fig. 5
A), sometimes without dark brown in some
paratypes
. Postpronotal lobe yellow. Acrostichal setulae in ca. 14–15 irregular rows (
Fig. 5
A). Scutellum brown, pale at tip (
Fig. 5
A). Meron yellow (
Fig. 5
B). Wing (
Fig. 2
F): Costal vein between R2+3 and R4+5 distally with ca. 8 peglike spinules on ventral surface. Abdominal tergites brown to dark brown, yellow along lateral margins (
Fig. 8
F); second yellow on median; third with narrow yellow patches submedially along anterior margin; fourth and fifth each with 2 pairs of yellow patches submedially; sixth with M-shaped yellow patch medially. Male terminalia: Epandrium with ca. 15 setae near dorsal margin to ventral corner per side (
Fig. 19
A). Hypandrium with 1 sensillum (
Fig. 19
B). Paramere basally narrow, distally broadened, with ca. 6 sensilla and pubescence (
Fig. 19
C).
