DIAGNOSIS: Males of this distinctive species can easily be recognized by the short, bifurcated retrolateral tibial apophysis (fig. 723) and narrow terminal apophysis (fig. 722), females by the lateral pockets of the epigynal hood (fig. 724) and posteriorly enlarged lateral ducts (fig. 725).

MALE: Total length 3.6. Coloration as in L. boyd . Leg spination: tibiae: III v1p­0­2; IV r0­1­1. Retrolateral tibial apophysis bifurcate, sinuous (fig. 723); terminal apophysis narrow, distal portion directed retrolaterally (fig. 722).

FEMALE: Total length 3.7. Coloration as in L. boyd . Leg spination as in male. Epigynal hood beak­shaped, with lateral pockets (fig. 724); lateral ducts enlarged, sinuous posteriorly (fig. 725).
