II – III and Abd. III – IV is also similar, but their chaetotaxy of Abd. I and central Abd. II is different. The main differences among the three species in chaetotaxy are listed in Table 3. The new species is also similar to the Indonesian species L. javana (Börner, 1913) in color pattern, but the labial base formula is M 1 M 2 REL 1 L 2 in the former and mRel 1 l 2 in the latter (Yoshii and Suhardjono 1989). Their dorsal body chaetotaxy is also quite different (Table 3).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/81ECBE2FB58B542191477CB2A148F126	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
