Differential diagnosis. Laemoglyptus gandakiensis differs from the other species of the L. gandakiensis -subgroup by the combination of the narrow emargination of the dorsal part of the aedeagus, being apically curved in lateral view and shorter than the laterophyses (cf. KAZANTSEV 2009).

Distribution. Nepal: Western Region. KAZANTSEV (2009) reported it also from the Central Region.
