Diagnosis.

Larva. Following combination of characters: A) dorsal surface of labrum with submarginal arc of 20-24 clavate setae; B) labial palp segment II with a large, thumb-like distomedial protuberance, segment III slightly pentagonal; C) left mandible without setae at apex of mola; D) foreleg femur rather broad, length ca. 3 × maximum width, dorsal margin with a row of ca. 16 curved, spine-like setae; E) paraproct distally expanded, with 37-48 stout marginal spines.

Etymology.

Refers to the morphological similarity with L. diffundus .

Distribution.

Indonesia: Sumatra.

Biological aspects. The specimens were collected at altitudes from 890 m to 1,830 m in small to medium (0.5 m - 5 m wide), shallow (5 cm - 10 cm deep) and slow to medium fast (velocity 0.2 m/s - 0.7 m/s) forest streams or, in one case, a highly disturbed stream (agriculture, waste). The substrate was predominantly bedrock, boulder, stones, gravel and sand and only rarely with leaf litter or dead wood.
