Type material. Holotype, male, “ NEPAL: Sheopuri, N Kathmandu, 1800–2500m, 27.vi. 1986, W. Wittmer” ( NHMB).

Diagnosis. Closely related to L. nepalensis from which it differs in yellow head, scutellum, and legs. Related also to L. godawarensis sp. nov. from which it can be distinguishable by entirely black elytra and robust male genitalia with phallus considerably longer than parameres.

Redescription. Ventral bodyparts, head, pronotum, scutellum, and legs yellow, maxillary and labial palpi, antennae, tarsi and elytra dark brown to black. Upper bodyparts densely pubescent. Head small, distance between eyes 1.7x longer than eye diameter. Antennae long, filiform, reaching to basal third of elytra, antennomeres 3–10 decreasing in length towards apex, antennomere 11 rather longer than 10, oval. Terminal maxillary palpomere 10x longer than penultimate palpomeres. Pronotum 1.8x wider than long, basal pronotal margin 1.6x longer than anterior margin. Elytra slender, widest medially, each elytron 4.5x longer than humeral width ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 1 – 9 ). Elytral surface densely punctured, with 2–3 irregular longitudinal costae, sutural margins divergent in posterior third. Penultimate tergum provided with long projections reaching apex of terminal tergum ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 10 – 18 ). Male genitalia robust, phallus almost as long as parameres, distal portion of parameres concave, strongly excavated ( Fig. 51–52 View FIGURES 43 – 60 ), parameral apices bicornuate, internal thorns of parameral apices placed subapically. Longitudinal plate of phallus oblique, basal angular projections of phallus stout and short, phallobase trapezoidal. Body length: 6.25 mm, humeral width: 2.1 mm.
