MATERIAL. Holotype – ♂, Indonesia: northeastern part of Sulawesi I.,

Sulawesi Utara Prov., Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park, environs of Wallace

Base Camp near Toraut Vill. (not far from Doloduo Town), 17–25.I 2011, A. Gorochov. Paratype – ♂, same data as for holotype .

DESCRIPTION. Male (holotype). Body moderately small for this genus. Coloration yellowish with following marks: head with four short longitudinal brown stripes on hind half of epicranial dorsum, a pair of brownish dots in dorsolateral corners of clypeus, narrow brownish ring on apical part of each scape, poorly distinct light brownish spots on pedicel, and brown to dark brown antennal flagellum having very sparse and small whitish spots; pronotum with light brown longitudinal median band having brown marks in anterior part, and with a pair of similar (light brown) bands running along lateral edges of disc and not reaching anterior pronotal edge; fore and middle femora with moderately sparse brown to light brown dots; hind femur with dark brown distal part and longitudinal dorsal subdistal stripe as well as dark brown to brown dots around this stripe and brown lines along ventral keels of distal half of this femur; fore and middle tibiae as well as all tarsi and distal part of hind tibia light brown; rest of hind tibia with dark brown to brown longitudinal stripes along dorsal and ventrolateral surfaces as well as with dark spines and spots around their bases (hind spurs also darkened); tegminal membranes semitransparent with light brown tinge in distal parts of tegmina but transparent in rest tegminal parts; abdomen with light brown to brown ornament on dorsal surfaces of seven last tergites as well as with darkened distal halves of cerci

(including proximedial hooks) and styles of genital plate ( Figs 66, 67 ). External structure of body very similar to that of L. (P.) h. hamatus , but posterior edge of pronotum reaching only apex of tegminal mirror (in L. h. hamatus , this edge reaching tegminal apical area; see Ingrisch, 1995: fig. 61), left tegmen as in Fig. 85 ,

last tergite with posterolateral lobules longer and narrower as well as distinctly curved downwards, paraproct rounded at apex, cercus with somewhat longer and clearly thinner apical part and with slightly narrower distal part of its proximedial hook, and genital plate with distinct (but not deep) and rounded posteromedian notch and longer distal thickenings before styles (these thickenings almost reaching each other in median part of this plate; Fig. 41 ). Genitalia completely membranous.

Variations. Second male with rose marks on rostral region of head, with a pair of poorly distinct rose spots under eyes, and almost without light brown darkening in median part of posterior pronotal half; its tegmina almost hidden under hind pronotal lobe in connection with deformation of pterothorax.

Female unknown.

MEASUREMENTS. Length (in mm). Body 7.5–10; pronotum 4.3–4.5; tegminal parts visible behind pronotum 0.4–0.8; hind femora 10.5–11.

COMPARISON. The new subspecies is distinguished from the nominotypical one by the characters listed above: especially by narrower and longer lobules of the male anal plate, longer and thinner cercal apical parts, longer distal thickenings of the male genital plate as well as the presence of a distinct posteromedian notch in this plate.

ETYMOLOGY. This new subspecies is named after Bogani Nani Wartabone

National Park where its type locality is situated.
