C o m m e n t: The original description of L. sengleti is based on a single male ( PACE 1984). The aedeagus ( Fig. 53 ) and the male sternite VII ( Fig. 54 ) are most similar to those of L. piciformis and L. flagrifera , respectively. This species was the first representative of the genus to become known from Iran. It is currently known only from the type locality ( Map 4 ).
