Diagnosis
. The forewing length is
13.5 mm
in the male
holotype
. The male genital capsule of
L. paraliaka
is similar to
L. diehli
but readily differs in the broader sacculus with a markedly shorter and proximally broader distal saccular process, which is more S-like curved distally. The phallus of the new species is somewhat longer than in the congener (in proportion to the tegumen-vinculum complex length). Compared to
L. diehli
, the vesica of
L. paraliaka
is distally broader, has shorter and semiglobular medial dorsal diverticula (they are utricular in the congener), and a broader distal diverticulum bearing two larger terminal cornuti (whereas
L. diehli
has a single terminal cornutus).
The female is unknown.
Distribution
. The new species is currently known only from its
type
locality in coastal north-western
Sumatra
.
Etymology
. The specific epithet is derived from the Greek ‘παραλιακός’ meaning ‘coastal’ and refers to the occurrence of the new species in the coastal area of north-western
Sumatra
. The name is a noun in the nominative singular in apposition.
