ETYMOLOGY. — The species name refers to the coloration of the face.
DIAGNOSIS. — Aedeagal shaft with one short subapical process on left side, two long spine-shaped processes below it, and two long spine-shaped processes on opposite right side (
Fig. 8D, E
).
TAXONOMIC RELATIONSHIPS. — In general the male genitalia structure is close to
L. aldabranus
Distant
sensu
Nielson (1982)
, but is well differentiated by its black face and details of the aedeagus.
