Comments	Female dorsal posterior view, showing 1) metasomal wings essentially symmetric, 2) the left lobe of the genital segment significantly smaller than the right, and 3) the lobes of the genital segment within the middle third of the segment - all points of difference between this species and the closely-related L. siciloides.
