BA07879DFFAC1252FF0EFAF7E967FDB3.taxon	discussion	Discussion. The new species morphologically appears similar to L. bulbosa, L. gracillus, L. navasi, L. recticercis, L. infurcata and L. serricauda, but has a completely different shape of the male ninth tergite, supra-anal plate, subgenital plate and cerci. The major difference is in the male phallus sclerite being hardly sclerotised with the posterior part forked, smooth and acute; and, the difference in the size of stridulatory apparatus. In female, which resembles L. rubescens and L. brevicaudata, the shape of ovipositor, supra-anal and sub-genital plates differ.	en	Nagar, Rajendra, Swaminathan, R.
