Remarks. L. macrobipunctata was previously described by Choe (1986) in his Ph.D. thesis, but it was not published. Hossain et al. (2019) validated this taxon by providing a description and illustration adopting the same species name. Comparison of the original description and illustrations of L. macrobipunctata Hossain et al., 2019 ( Choe, 1986 nom. nud. & Hossain et al., 2019) and the specimens of the Choe’s collection at CNU with the descriptions and illustrations of L. ishiharai Dworakowska, 1972 ( Dworakowska, 1972) indicates that these two taxa are synonyms. Based on our examinations, this species vary intraspecifically in spotted patterns of forewings ( Figs 24-31 View FIGURES 24-36 ) and male aedeagus apex ( Figs 32–35 View FIGURES 24-36 ). Pygofer lobe of the species do not vary ( Fig 36 View FIGURES 24-36 ).

Distribution. China, Japan, Korea.
