Diagnosis.

Leucotrichia chiriquiensis is most similar to L. botosaneanui , L. hispida , and L. viridis , based on a similar appearance of the phallus, as discussed under L. botosaneanui . This species can most swiftly be identified as distinct from the others based on the structural modifications of the antennae and head.
