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

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