Diagnosis. Surface of body strongly roughened.Tubercles in anterior portion of pronotum larger than in L. inconspicuum . Posterior pronotal transverse carina more strongly curved caudad in lateral parts than in L. inconspicuum . Tubercles in anterior angles of scutellum slightly larger than in L. inconspicuum . Connexivum thicker (in strong lateral view). Laterotergites with rough punctation and transverse elevation, sometimes strongly smoothed. Tubercles on posterior angles of abdominal segments usually slightly larger than in L. inconspicuum . Pygophore slightly wider than long; its lateral walls divergent in distal part. Dorsal infolding of rim of pygophore wider than in L. inconspicuum . Inner margins of parandria straight. Female genitalia. Medial part of spermathecal duct usually extending beyond anterior margin of sternum IV, but sometimes only slightly extending beyond its middle.

Measurements (mm) and ratios. Total length 4.95–6.05, width of pronotum 3.10–3.80, width of abdomen 3.35–3.95, ratio head length/head width 0.90–0.93, ratio scutellum width/scutellum length 0.63–0.65. Length of antennal segments I–V: 12–13: 17–21: 12–14: 11–13: 25–27.
