Type data. China, Yunnan Province, from Sciurotamias forresti (Thomas) .

Remarks. By its measurements, this species is almost identical with L. yunlingense and differs from it in fPp = N/N/NNB vs. N/N/BNB only. Moreover, S 1 and S 2 = 20 in L. yunlingense , but S 1 = 19 and S 2 = 17 in L. ejingshanense . Therefore, L. ejingshanense can be a synonym of L. yunlingense .
