NOTE
. The characters of these specimens are very similar to those indicated by
Tan
et al
. (2020) in the first description of this species. However: my males have uniformly light proximal halves of the hind femora, and the left tegmen with the proximedial lobe somewhat more angularly projecting; my females have a clearly lighter (light brown) stripe on the outer surface of the hind femur, and the genital plate lacking a notch at the apex. Thus, my specimens and the
types
of this species from Sandakan District of
Sabah
may belong to more than one subspecies. It is interesting that the male cercal proximedial hooks of this species are almost identical to those of
L.

and

, although the male tegminal stridulatory apparati of these species are very different (see
Figs 77–79 and 81
).
