(Figs 37–42)
Diagnosis. By the shape of the hypandrium, epiproct and paraproct, it is closely related to L. ariasi, but unlike this it presents a basally widened phallosome (Fig. 42), external parameres distally widened, incurved, strongly angled, aedeagus apically widened and endophallic membrane with apical spinous processes.
Male. Color. Head (Fig. 39) brown, vertex, part of the frons, postclypeus and genae darker; compound eyes dark brown; ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents. Antenna pale brown; maxillary palps brown, Mx 4 darker distally. Thorax brown, with cream spots. Legs pale brown. Forewings (Fig. 37) with pale brown spots, veins brown, some punctate; alar margin, subcostal, R1 and anal vein punctate, pterostigma with light and brown spots, vein m with a dark brown stain in the distal part. Hindwings (Fig. 38) smoked, brown veins, with costa vein dotted distally. Abdomen white creamy, clunium pale brown, hypandrium dark brown (Fig. 41), paraprocts and epiproct light brown (Fig. 40), phallosome dark brown (Fig. 42).
Morphology. As in diagnosis, plus the following: Head (Fig. 39): H/MxW: 1.25; compound eyes large, H/D: 1.84; IO/MxW: 0.48. Vertex slightly below upper edge of compound eyes. Outer cusp of lacinial tips broad, with four denticles; Mx4/Mx2: 1.36. Forewings (Fig. 37): L/W: 2.51. Pterostigma: lp/wp: 3.41, areola postica high, with vertex touching vein M: al/ah: 1.34. Hindwings (Fig. 38): l/w: 2.72. Hypandrium with extensive basally projecting sclerotization (Fig. 41), with setae and macrosetae as illustrated. Phallosome (Fig. 42). Paraprocts with elongate posterior process and rounded and incurving apex, with distal setae as illustrated, another outwardly curving apical process crossing below anterior process (Fig. 40); with a field of setae and macrosetae on distal area; sensory fields with 28 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct (Fig. 40) with superficial dorsal flap with setal field scattered as illustrated.
