Types.

Etymology.
The species name is a noun in apposition derived from the Chinese pinyin “duàndài” (ribbon) and refers to the structure of the spermathecae resembling a ribbon knot (Fig. 24A View Figure 24 ).
Diagnosis.
Females of L. duandai sp. nov. can be distinguished from other congeners by the unique orange coloration of the external genitalia and the spermathecae (Fig. 24A, B View Figure 24 ) which resemble a pair of orange-coloured ribbon knots (vs. absence of orange coloration on the external genitalia or spermathecae in congeners).
