Differential diagnosis. Aedeagus of L. kopetzi is very similar to that of L. hispidus sp. nov. from which it differs only by the phallus, which is not covered on its dorsal side by bristles, but is divided apically into several thorns (cf. KAZANTSEV 2009 and Figs. 12–13).

Distribution. Nepal: Central Region, Eastern Region.
