Diagnosis. Metope with very weak (traces) median and sublateral carinae. Forewing radius and media running parallel or diverging from the basal cell at acute angle. Hind tibia with two lateral spines. Lateral margins of male anal tube without processes (in lateral view). Lobe-shaped processes of phallobase basement narrowing apically. Aedeagus with strongly curved ventral hooks, thicker in their middle parts. Style with deeply concave hind margin; capitulum on long neck. Forewings with dark brown dots sometimes fused in dark brown to black wide median band; apical cells with large dark brown spots. Total length: males—3.7–4.0 mm, females—4.0–4.9 mm.
Supplementary description. Metope wide (usually weakly visible from above), enlarged below eyes, with very weak median and sublateral carinae; upper margin weakly concave ( Figs 11 View FIGURES 9–11 , 39 View FIGURES 39–40 ). Coryphe transverse, 3–4 times as wide as long at midline, margins keel-shaped; anterior margin weakly convex; posterior margin deeply concave ( Figs 9 View FIGURES 9–11 , 40 View FIGURES 39–40 ). Pronotum 1.3–1.5 times as long as coryphe medially, without carinae, but with a median groove. Mesonotum 1.3 times as long as pronotum, with weak lateral carinae. Forewings with distinct knee prominences and relief veins, with many transverse veins in its apical halves. Forewing vein sequence ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 9–11 ): R 3 (R 1 not reaching wing margin), firstly furcating at basal third of wing; M 4–5, firstly furcating at wing middle, M 1 and M 2 furcating in apical third of wing; CuA1. Radius and media running parallel or diverging from the basal cell at acute angle. Hind tibiae with two lateral spines and 7–10 apical spines. First metatarsomere with 6–7 intermediate spines.
Coloration. General coloration yellowish light brown. Metope light brown, with yellowish median carina and with two pairs of elongate yellowish spots—medially besides of the carina and above clypeus; traces of larval sensory pits dark brown to black. Metopoclypeal suture black. Coryphe dark brown, with light brown yellowish median line. Rostrum dark brown to black. Scapus black. Pedicel dark brown. Pro- and mesonotum light brown yellowish, with black traces of larval sensory pits. Forewings light brown, with dark brown dots and spots sometimes fused in dark brown to black wide median band. Apical cells of forewings with large dark brown to black spots. Membrane veins light yellow. Legs brown yellowish to dark brown. Apices of leg spines and of 3 rd metatarsomeres dark brown to black. Abdominal tergites black. Abdominal sternites light brown to dark brown, except female sternite III dark brown medially. Gonoplacs dark brown to black, each with light yellow lateral spot.
Male genitalia ( Figs 41–46 View FIGURES 41–46 ). Anal tube enlarged medially, twice as long as wide medially, apex widely rounded (in dorsal view) ( Fig. 42 View FIGURES 41–46 ), lateral margins without processes (in lateral view) ( Fig. 41 View FIGURES 41–46 ). Anal column short, ¹⁄ of anal tube. Lobe-shaped processes of phallobase basement wide, narrowing apically ( Fig. 46 View FIGURES 41–46 ). Ventral phallobase lobe with a small apical notch ( Fig. 45 View FIGURES 41–46 ). Apical aedeagal processes long and wide, narrowing apically. Aedeagus with strongly curved ventral hooks, thicker in its middle parts, arising below its middle. Style with deeply concave hind margin; caudo-dorsal angle widely rounded ( Fig. 43 View FIGURES 41–46 ); capitulum on long neck, not narrowing apically (in dorsal view) ( Fig. 44 View FIGURES 41–46 ).
Female genitalia ( Figs 64, 65 View FIGURES 64–70 , 76, 77 View FIGURES 71–77 ). Hind margin of sternite VII with large semicircular labial process medially ( Fig. 64 View FIGURES 64–70 ). Ovipositor structure generally as in L. juniperi . Anal tube convex (in lateral view), long, 3.5 times as long as wide medially, narrowing apically, with rounded apex (in dorsal view). Anterior connective lamina of gonapophysis VIII with three teeth in lateral group.
