Measurements (n=6): WH: 0.70–0.72; LH: 0.47–0.52; LA (holotype): 1.70; LE: 0.18−0.20; LT: 0.10−0.12; LP: 0.67–0.75; WPMax: 0.87–0.92; WPMin: 0.61–0.67; LEl: 1.13–1.21; WE: 1.38–1.52; WA: 1.23−1.47; LAed: 0.82; TL: 3.35–3.70 (holotype: 3.50).</p><p>Body reddish brown; ocelli, basal third of pronotum, apical margins of elytra, legs, abdominal tergites VII–VIII (and sometimes abdominal tergite VI) yellow brown; scutellum reddish brown with brown lateral margins; each elytron with moderately wide yellow brown macula, extending from shoulders towards suture; antennae yellow to yellow brown; mouthparts and tarsi yellow. Pubescence of body short and tender, decumbent, yellow. Punctation of head very dense, irregular and moderately deep and small; pronotum with slightly denser punctation than that on head; scutellum with dense small punctation; abdominal tergites with fine sparse punctures. Forebody glossy, without microsculpture; abdomen glossy, with well defined isodiametric microsculpture. Habitus as in Fig. 1.</p><p>Head 1.3−1.4 times wider than long, with small prominent eyes; eyes 1.6−1.8 times longer than temples; ocelli large, distance between ocelli slightly shorter than distance between ocellus and posterior margin of eye. Antennae long, reaching one-third of elytra, with elongated antennomeres; measurements of antennomeres (length/width, holotype): I: 0.17 × 0.08; II: 0.15 × 0.05; III: 0.15 × 0.04; IV −VIII: 0.15× 0.05; IX: 0.13 × 0.05; X: 0.13 × 0.07; XI: 0.22 × 0.07.</p><p>Pronotum strongly transverse, convex, 1.2 times wider than head, widest in anterior third and strongly narrowed towards base; median part of disc of pronotum with wide indistinct longitudinal impressions.</p><p>Elytra moderately short and wide, 1.6 times longer than pronotum, with rounded hind margins. Wings fully developed.</p><p>Tarsomere I of metatarsus visibly longer than combined length of tarsomeres II −III or tarsomere V.</p><p>Abdomen slightly narrower than width of elytra; abdominal tergites IV −V with paired tomentose spots.</p><p>Male. Apical margin of abdominal sternite VIII with widely rounded deep emargination. Aedeagus (Fig. 3) with median lobe gradually narrowing towards sharp pointed apex; parameres very wide in basal third, reaching apex of aedeagus, with four setae, two of them located on apex of paramere and two on inner side of setiferous surface basally; endophallus with very long paired parallel structures. Aedeagus laterally as in Fig. 4.</p><p>Female. Apical margin of abdominal sternite VIII straight.</p><p>Comparative notes. Based on the punctation of the forebody, the presence of similar yellow brown macula on each elytron and the general shape of the aedeagus, G. smetanai sp. n. is similar to two Japanese species: L. gracilis Watanabe, 1990, described from Honshu, and L. fenestrata Sharp, 1874, known from Honshu and Kyushu. From both species it differs by the wider pronotum, by the presence of indistinct longitudinal impressions on the disc of the pronotum, by the shape of the parameres (parameres of L. gracilis slightly narrower and shorter; apical part of parameres of L. fenestrata wider) and by the internal structure of the aedeagus. Additionally, from L. gracilis it differs by the slightly smaller body and by the significantly paler coloration ( L. gracilis with black body), and by the shorter and wider elytra.</p><p>Etymology. The new species is named after my colleague and collector of the type material Aleš Smetana (Ottawa). Bionomics. Specimens taken by sifting various debris, fallen leaves and moss in the spray zone of a large waterfall in an old mixed forest (Smetana, pers. comm.).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CF879AFFB5FFFAFF7CFF63CDA75943	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Pronotum 1.1 times wider than head. Elytra 1.8 times longer than pronotum.</p><p>Male. Aedeagus (Fig 5) very long, with median lobe gradually narrowing towards apex; parameres moderately wide, reaching apex of aedeagus; endophallus with moderately long paired parallel structures, with two small slightly curved sclerites in apical part. Aedeagus laterally as in Fig. 6.</p><p>Comparative notes. Male and female genital characters of the new subspecies as in L. r. rufopunctata, but body size, some proportions of the forebody and coloration differ from the type form from the mainland China (Zhejiang (Moganshan, Hangzhou), Jiangsu (Nanjing), Beijing (Panshan, Yingtaogou); for details see Rougemont 2000) as follows: body smaller ( L. r. rufopunctata – from 4.40 to 5.00 mm), coloration much paler (body of L. r. rufopunctata black, legs fuscous black), pronotum slightly wider, elytra slightly wider and shorter. The length of the aedeagus of the larger-body L. r. rufopunctata is the same (1.20 mm) as the new subspecies (one-third shorter in length of body!). The median lobe of the aedeagus of L. r. taiwanica subsp. n. is somewhat wider, the apex of the aedeagus is slightly narrower, and the apical paired sclerites of the endophallus are slightly longer and not curved compared to that of L. r. rufopunctata .</p><p>Etymology. The new subspecies is named after Taiwan where the type series was collected.</p><p>Bionomics. Specimens taken by submerging various edge vegetation into water of a small pond in coniferous forest (Smetana, pers. comm.).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CF879AFFB7FFFDFF7CFE3BCEB65B95	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
