Differential diagnosis. The aedeagus of L. jaegeri by its rather short fused parameres most resembles that of L. weigeli , from which it differs by the shallowly and widely emarginated apex of dorsal part of the aedeagus in dorsal view and being strongly curved ventrad in lateral view (cf. KAZANTSEV 2009).

Distribution. Nepal: Western Region, Central Region, Eastern Region.
