Diagnosis. This species is mostly similar to L. striatipennis in the abdominal tergites dark brown to black (Fig. 4 A, 4M), but can be distinguished from the latter by wing hyaline, and aedeagus slender and pubescent apically (Fig. 5 B), see under that species.

Acrostichal setulae in ca. 14–16 irregular rows (Fig. 2 E). Scutellum brownish yellow medially, brown along margin (Fig. 2 E). Pleura brownish above, yellow below (Fig. 2 F). Halter brown, with yellowish patch apically (Fig. 2 F). Abdominal tergites usually black, laterally with yellow parches on 2nd (Fig. 4 A), sometimes yellow, with dark brown patches (Fig. 4 B, 4C). Male terminalia: Epandrium with 3 setae near posterior margin and 4 setae on ventral corner per side (Fig. 5 B). Paramere with 5 sensilla distally (Fig. 5 C).
