Remarks
This species closely resembles L. vietnamensis sp. nov. in having the following characteristics: weakly convex cervical expansion, F11 3.0 times as long as wide, and a polished scutellum. However, L. bachmaensis sp. nov. can be distinguished by the following characteristics: frontal projection equal to shorter than upper part in lateral view (longer than above in L. vietnamensis sp. nov.); temple 0.80 times as long as MOD (0.3–0.6 times longer than in L. vietnamensis sp. nov.); POL shorter than MOD (longer than MOD in L. vietnamensis sp. nov.); tooth of hindtarsal claw reaching ⅓ of hindtarsal claw (less than ¼ in L. vietnamensis sp. nov.).
