ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of L. foliifera but have a more pronounced ventral protuberance on the base of the palpal femur (fig. 75); females also resemble those of L. foliifera but have a large epigynal midpiece rather than a deep anterior excavation (fig. 76).

Palpal femur with small, pimpleshaped ventral protuberance; retrolateral tibial apophysis expanded laterally at both sides of tip (fig. 75); tegulum massively expanded, reaching almost to tip of tibia; embolus long, wide, with short, arched tip (fig. 75).
FEMALE: Total length 6.8. Coloration as in male. Epigynal midpiece large, wide, reaching beyond tips of spermathecae (fig. 76), spermathecae bipartite, widely separated (fig. 77).
