Diagnosis. Female L. pictum can be recognised by the following diagnostic combination clypeus black-brown distally; postgena polished; lower paraocular area with moderately sparse tomentum; mesoscutum not obscured by tomentum; mesepisternum reticulate-punctate; legs mostly brown; and metasoma orange-yellow metasoma, apical impressed areas obscurely punctate. They are most similar to L. arantium , which has a reddish orange metasoma and a completely lineolate postgena.

Male L. pictum can be recognised by head moderately elongate (length/width ratio = 0.98–1.02); face with moderately dense tomentum; flagellomeres short, orange-yellow ventrally; mesoscutal punctures moderately sparse (i=1–2d); parapsidal line narrow; mesepisternum distinctly punctate; and metasomal terga reddish brown, apical margins orangeyellow. They are similar to L. foveolatum , which has a very deep and wide parapsidal lines ( Fig. 15 View FIGURE 15 B) and brown metasomal terga.
