Diagnosis. Female L. perpunctatum can be recognised by the following diagnostic combination: head wide (length/ width ratio = 0.95–0.96); postgena polished; mesoscutal punctures dense throughout (i≤d) ( Fig. 13 View FIGURE 13 A); mesepisternum punctate; metapostnotal rugae reaching posterior margin; tegula ovoid with small posterior angle; metasomal terga brown, sometimes with obscure greenish reflections; T1 acarinarial fan large, dorsal opening absent; and T3–T4 with abundant tomentum. They are similar to L. miniatulum and L. sheffieldi . Female L. miniatulum have postgena lineolate and less dense tomentum on T3. Female L. sheffieldi have head longer (length/width ratio = 1.00–1.01) and distinctly separated punctures on median portion of mesoscutum.

Male L. perpunctatum can be recognised by the following combination: heads moderately elongate (length/width ratio = 1.00–1.03); flagellomeres moderately elongate (length/width ratio = 1.43–1.58); mesoscutal punctures coarse, sparse between parapsidal lines (i=1–2d); tegula with small posterior; mesepisternum distinctly punctate; metapostnotum with rugae reaching posterior margin; and metasomal terga with distinct punctures, sparser on apical impressed areas. They are similar to L. sheffieldi which has a longer head (length/width ratio = 1.06–1.08).
