Type material. Holotype, male, “ NEPAL P: Seti /D: Bajhang way, 19km NE Chainpur, N29o 39.44´, E81o 20.54´A. Kopetz, 28. 6. 2009 ” ( NHMB).
Diagnosis. Related to L. annandalei from which it differs in having elytra except humeral spots black and terminal tergum distally rounded. Species similar to L. montanus Wittmer, 1995 with elytra entirely black, but differs in the shape of parameral apices, which are rounded in L. bajhangensis while depressed and provided with two distal thorns in L. montanus .
Description. Body oval, sparsely pubescent. Head, pronotum and legs yellow, maxillary and labial palpi and tarsomeres infuscate. Antennae, scutellum, and elytra dark brown to black. Head small, distance between eyes about 2x longer than eye diameter, Maxillary and labial palpi with terminal palpomeres leaflike, 9x longer than penultimate palpomere. Antennae filiform, antennomeres 3–10 trapezoidal, diminishing in length, terminal palpomere oval, as long as 10. Pronotum transverse, 1.6x wider than long, anterior angles rounded ( Fig. 20 View FIGURES 19 – 26 ). Each elytron with 3–4 longitudinal costae, 3.8x longer than wide at humeri. Male terminal tergum distally rounded, lateral projection of penultimate tergum strongly projected distally, terminal and penultimate terga separated by triangular opening, proximal projection of penultimate tergum at least as long as penultimate tergum lateral projections ( Fig. 29–30 View FIGURES 27 – 42. 27 ). Male genitalia with phallus as long as 4/5 of parameres, longitudinal plate of phallus laterally parallel-sided, inner margin of each paramera provided with distal thorn, parameral apices separated by quarter of paramera width, base of phallus with 2 strong angular projections, phallobase U-shaped. Body length: 5.6 mm, humeral width: 2.1 mm.
