Diagnosis.
This species resembles
L
.
flaviclypeata
sp. nov.
in having the thorax mostly dark colored (
Figs.
4
I, 4J, 5A, 5B), the wing fuscous along R1 only (
Fig. 2
J, K), and in the color patterns of abdominal tergites in male (
Figs. 8
L, 9A), but can be distinguished from the latter by the surstylus acute apically, lacking any seta laterally (
Fig. 18
A), and the aedeagus slightly expanded distoventrally (
Fig. 18
D); see below that species.

Ocellar triangle dark brown, with ca. 1–2 seta(e) above ocellar setae. Frons brownish yellow. Pedicel brownish yellow; first flagellomere yellow. Clypeus brown. Palpus yellowish. Mesonotum mostly brownish (

Fig. 4
J). Acrostichal setulae in ca. 8–10 irregular rows (

I). Scutellum entirely brown (
Fig.

I). Pleura with a brown, longitudinal stripe above (
Fig. 4
J). Katepisternum and meron brownish yellow, mostly brownish above (
Fig. 4
J). Wing (
Fig. 2
J): Costal vein between R2+3 and R4+5 distally with ca. 4 peg-like spinules on ventral surface. Abdominal tergites black (
Fig. 8
L), with a pair of yellow patches submedially between 2nd to 3rd tergites. Male terminalia: Epandrium with ca. 1 seta near posterior margin per side (
Fig. 18
A). Paramere with ca. 1 sensillum submedially (
Fig. 18
C).
