Diagnosis.
This species differs from L. wuyiensis by the short and C-shaped basoembolic apophysis with 2 arms in ventral view (BEA, Fig. 12 B, D, F View Figure 12 ) (vs long, hook-shaped with 3 arms, Fig. 14 B, D – F View Figure 14 ), epigyne with an anterior hood (AH, Fig. 13 C View Figure 13 ) (vs with 2 hoods, Fig. 15 C View Figure 15 ), and septum lacking stalk (Fig. 13 C View Figure 13 ) (vs having a stalk, Fig. 15 C View Figure 15 ).

Carapace greyish brown with distinct light median band and submarginal stripes, median band wide in cephalic part, with pair of dark dots, thoracic part of median band thin. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.12, ALE 0.13, PME 0.41, PLE 0.33; AME – AME 0.13, AME – ALE 0.07, PME – PME 0.31, PME – PLE 0.32. Clypeus height 0.21. Leg measurements: I 8.41 (2.34, 3.01, 2.11, 0.95); II 8.05 (2.25, 2.72, 2.10, 0.98); III 8.28 (2.26, 2.65, 2.33, 1.04); IV 11.64 (2.79, 3.71, 3.81, 1.33).
Palp (Fig. 12 View Figure 12 ): Basoembolic apophysis with 2 arms, anterior (aa) and posterior (pa), almost as long as tegulum. Embolus broad, short and arc-shaped. Terminal apophysis short, sclerotized and located posterior to embolus. Retrolateral tegular apophysis sclerotized, twice as long as wide, with a groove on the dorsal surface.
Female (Fig. 13 B View Figure 13 ). Total length 7.25. Carapace 3.42 long, 2.75 wide; opisthosoma 3.91 long, 2.99 wide. Colouration as in male.
