Diagnosis.

Antennomeres 5-10 as long as wide, flattened. Anterior angles of pronotum protruding, pronotal disc with two rows of fine punctures. Humeral groove of elytra indistinct, punctures sparse and diminishing posteriorly, absent on apical 1/3. Lateral metasternum with a short strip of pubescence.

Redescription.

BL = 7.5-9.5 mm, BW = 3.5-4.0 mm. Body brownish red.

Head (Figs 11 View Figures 11–14 , 40A View Figures 37–46 ). Vertex flat, with a very shallow groove in the middle, sparsely punctate and pubescent laterally; frontoclypeal area triangular, lateral disc with sparse punctures and pubescent; labrum transverse, with sparse pubescent; antennae nearly 1/2 of body length, antennomeres 1-4 nearly globular, antennomere 2 shortest, antennomeres 5-10 as long as wide, antennomere 11 slender.

Pronotum (Figs 11 View Figures 11–14 , 40B View Figures 37–46 ). Anterior angles protruding, posterior angles not protruding; sides distinctly constricted in the middle; disc flat; middle of disc with two rows fine punctures. Scutellum triangular and pubescent.

Elytra (Figs 11 View Figures 11–14 , 30B View Figures 27–31 ). Humeri protruding, humeral groove and basal impression shallow; elytra without completely punctate striae, punctures sparse, diminishing posteriorly, absent on apical 1/3; intervals smooth; epipleura raised, with a row of fine punctures.

Mesosternum pubescent. Lateral metasternum with oblique strip of pubescence. Metepisternum densely pubescent (Fig. 40C View Figures 37–46 ).

Abdominal sternite (Fig. 30A View Figures 27–31 ). Lateral transverse impressions big and distinct on sternites 1-4, other areas of sternites 1-4 densely pubescent.

Leg (Fig. 30D View Figures 27–31 ). Femora with dense pubescence on the dorsal surface, with sparse pubescence on the ventral surface, without tooth.

Male genitalia (Fig. 54A-D View Figures 51–56 ). Ostium occupying 1/2 length of median lobe (Fig. 54A View Figures 51–56 ); apex sharp (Fig. 54B View Figures 51–56 ); tegmen Y-shaped, basal piece of tegmen oval and narrow, lateral lobes slightly sclerotized and combined with second connecting membrane; internal sac membranous, with distinct ventral sclerites, dorsal sclerite nearly membranous, ventral sclerite greatly long and tubular (= flagellum), median sclerite small (Fig. 54C, D View Figures 51–56 ).

Female reproductive organs (Fig. 61A-C View Figures 57–66 ). Tergites 8 and 9, sternites 8 and 9 sclerotized, posterior areas of tergite 8, sternite 8, and apodemes with pubescence, spiculum gastrale Y-shaped and long; ovipositor with dense pubescence, distal part of ovipositor cylindrical, long and with a protuberance; spermatheca simple and hooked.

Distribution

(Fig. 68 View Figure 68 ). China (Hainan, Yunnan).

Host plant and habitat.

Unknown.

Remarks.

The species is most similar to L. yuae , but differs by the antenna being brownish red, without a metallic luster, and the antennomeres 7-10 as long as wide (Fig. 30D View Figures 27–31 ); the lateral transverse impressions are larger on the abdominal sternites 1-4 (Fig. 30A View Figures 27–31 ); the ventral sclerite is long and thin (Fig. 54C, D View Figures 51–56 ). (in L. yuae , the antenna is brownish red with a blue metallic luster, antennomeres 7-10 are distinctly longer than wide (Fig. 36D View Figures 32–36 ); lateral transverse impressions are very small on all sternites (Fig. 36A View Figures 32–36 ); and the ventral sclerite is shorter and thicker (Fig. 55C, D View Figures 51–56 )).
