Body length (excluding antennae and cerci): 2.74 mm (adult, holotype) (Fig. 2), 1.86–2.08 mm (juveniles), unpigmented plain cuticle.</p><p>HEAD. Head with short clothing setae, length: 0.37–0.43 mm; width: 0.42–0.51 mm. Antennae with 17–24 intact antennomeres (adult: 24; juveniles:17–20), with the presence of a dorsal rod-shaped baciliform sensillum on antennal segment 3. Length of the proximal antennomere half its width (0.04 mm; 0.09 mm), length and width of middle antennomere are subequal (0.07; 0.06); length of the apical antennomere double its width (0.08; 0.04). Cupuliform organ distinct, occupying one-twelfth of the apical antennomere. Antennomeres III–VI bear Trichobothrium, 2 on III, 3 on IV and V and 2 on VI. Frontal process distinct, non-protuding. Labial palp with a lateral sensillum similar to the maxillary palp and 3 rd antennomere. Labial palp bears 60–65 neuroglandular setae in adult female and 40–45 in juveniles.</p><p>THORAX. Pronotum with 1+1 ma, 1+1 lp and 1+1 la; mesonotum with 1+1 ma, 1+1 lp and 1+1 la; and metanotum with 1+1 ma and 1+1 lp (Fig. 3). Distal half of the ma, la and lp barbed. Mesonotum with well-developed ma (0.08 mm, paratype) exceeding the base of the corresponding ma and marginal setae. Metanotal ma lost for all specimens examined. 6+6 marginal setae (one sample with 6+7 on mesonotum) and 3+3 smooth microsetae present on both meso and metanotum, among them 1+1 present near lp. All thoracic sclerites with scales instead of clothing setae. Metathoracic legs reach the 6 th abdominal segment (0.87 mm, holotype). Femur with apico-ventral 5–6 setae arranged in a line, with hind femur bearing a single dorsal macroseta (setae lost for all specimens) (Fig. 4A). Tibia with 2 small and stout ventral macrosetae. Curved subequal claws with fine striate with presence of median unpaired unguiculus between them; laminar lateral process with foliate long barbs (Fig. 4B).</p><p>ABDOMEN. Macrosetae on abdominal tergites II–III with 1+1 post, IV–VIII with 3+3 post, and 2+2 post on IX, most of the setae lost. Urosternite I–VII and IX with 3+3 macrosetae, urosternite VIII with 1+1, most of the setae lost, those present distally barbed. All abdominal segments with scales (Fig. 5). Styli with two (one apical and subapical) strong, smooth setae.</p><p>SECONDARY SEX CHARACTERS. Posterior margin of female urosternite I without any glandular setae, subcylindrical appendages of urosternite I with 5–9 glandular setae at their apex. Urosternite VIII of adult female with 17–20 C setae, 2 B setae; and 2A setae (setae lost), B setae inserted between the most lateral C setae. All B and C setae smooth. A second row of setae above the C setae are also present in a conical shape, overall forming a “lip shaped” structure (Fig. 6). Juveniles with 4–5 smooth C setae and 2 B setae. Cerci broken for all samples.</p><p>Remarks</p><p>Only two previously described subspecies, L. weberi nepalensis and Lepidocampa weberi ceylonica Silvestri, 1933, have well-developed mesonotal ma which exceed the length of the corresponding marginal setae (Silvestri 1933; Condé 1993). Our newly described species differs from them by having relatively less developed mesonotal ma (ma not passing the total length of the marginal setae). Moreover, the structure of female genital papillae and setae arrangement around the papillae are completely different from L. weberi nepalensis (Fig. 11B) and L. weberi ceylonica (Silvestri 1933) . On the other hand, the described species can also be distinguished from L. weberi ceylonica by the number of antennal articles; L. weberi ceylonica bears more articles, 33–36, whereas the L. labiformis sp. nov. bears 17–24. Furthermore, the number of urotergal macrosetae also differs between species ( Lepidocampa labiformis sp. nov.: urotergite II–III: 1+1 post; IV–VIII: 3+3 post; IX: 2+2 post; L. weberi ceylonica: urotergite II–IV: 2+2 post; V–IX: 3+3 post) (Silvestri 1933). Urotergal macrosetae pattern of L. labiformis sp. nov. are similar to Lepidocampa weberi Oudemans, 1890 (except VIII: 3+3 vs. 4+4 post for L. weberi, IX: setae pattern absent for L. weberi) (Silvestri 1931b; Sendra et al. 2025) however, other characters such as number of antennal articles for adult L. weberi varies between 28–33 (Sendra et al. 2025), whereas for adult Lepidocampa labiformis sp. nov. bears 24; number of C setae (female L. weberi: 14, leteral C seate branched vs. female Lepidocampa labiformis sp. nov.: 17–20, lateral C setae smooth); and position of meso and metanotal lp relative to other marginal setae (Silvestri, 1931b). Additionally, the “lip-shaped” female genital papillae on urosternum VIII (Fig. 6) of L. labiformis sp. nov., is unique among all species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A6313BFFEFA964FDC10FD5FAFFFED0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The original account was incomplete by current taxonomic standards, omitting several key diagnostic characters. It focused mainly on meso- and metanotal chaetotaxy and the male genitalia, with brief remarks on secondary sexual features. Earlier authors reported a well-developed mesonotal macroseta (ma) that exceeds the length of the corresponding microseta, and our observations confirm this. However, the number of g2 setae in our material is lower, although Condé (1993) noted variability in this trait. The present study provides a detailed description, adding new information on additional morphological features and chaetotaxy for the first time.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A6313BFFE5A961FD9C093FFB0FFA8C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
