( Figs. 9 View FIGURES 1 – 9 , 18 View FIGURES 10 – 18 , 27, 41–42 View FIGURES 27 – 42. 27 , 59–60 View FIGURES 43 – 60 )

Type material. Holotype: male with labels: “ CHINA: S Yunnan, Xishuangbanna, 29 km NW of Jinghon, vic. DaNuoYou, N 22 o 12.41, E 100 o 38.29, 790m, 6.vi. 2008, A.Weigel, fallow” ( NHMB).

Paratypes: 2 males with labels: “ CHINA: S Yunnan, Xishuangbanna, 25 km NW of Jinghon, vic. Zhong Zhi Chang, N 22 o 11.06, E 100 o 39.05, 780m, 12.v. 2008, A. Weigel, rubber plant” (1 male, NHMB); N LAOS: 20 km NW Louang Namtha, 21.09N, 101.19E, 900 m, 5–30 May 1987, C. Holzschuh lgt.” (1 male, LMBC).

Diagnosis. Closely related to L. tsurui from which it differs in slightly greater extent of black elytral coloration and in angular apex of parameres in ventral view ( Fig. 59 View FIGURES 43 – 60 ). Related also to L. lineatus from which it can be distinguishable by male genitalia ( Figs 59–60 View FIGURES 43 – 60 ) with parameral apices laterally more or less truncated.

Description. Body coloration yellow, only antennomeres 3–11, basal third to half of elytra and posterior 5/6 of lateral elytral margins dark brown. Eyes small, distance between eyes 2x longer than eye diameter. Antennae filiform, reaching over elytral humeri, antennomeres 3–11 of decreasing length towards apex. Terminal maxillary and labial palpomeres large, leaf-like, over 15x longer than penultimate palpomeres. Mandibles arcuate, 1.5x longer than eye diameter. Pronotum 1.7x wider than long, posterior angles triangularly projected posteriad. Elytra widest medially, each elytron 4x longer than humeral width ( Fig. 9 View FIGURES 1 – 9 ). Terminal abdominal tergum rather oblong, transverse, slightly emarginate distally. Terminal and penultimate terga separated by narrow opening, proximal projection of penultimate tergum as long as penultimate tergum ( Fig.42 View FIGURES 27 – 42. 27 ). Phallus slightly shorter than parameres, parameres rather angular distally ( Fig. 59 View FIGURES 43 – 60 ), parameral apices approached, internal thorn of parameral apex placed subapically, base of phallus with 2 strong angular projections. Phallobase widely V-shaped. Body length: 5.7–6.0 mm, humeral width: 2.2–2.3 mm.

Distribution. China: Yunnan, N Laos.

Etymology. The specific name is latinized from Yunnan province in China, where the holotype and a paratype of the species were collected.
