After Krishnaswamy (1952, p.323) the female closely approaches L. brasiliensis Farran in the stucture of P5, but differs in having the posterior corners of the cephalothorax rounded, in the asymmetrical genital segment with the tubercles and in the squared anterior end of the cephalothorax. The male is closely allied to L. minuta Giesbrecht, but differs from it in the structure of the posterior corners of the cephalothorax and P5.
Silas & Pillai (1973, p.803) note some discrepancies between the description and drawings of this species given by Krishnaswamy (1952).
For Mulyadi (2002, p.56) the species belongs to L. minuta-Group.
For Othman & Toda (2006, p.310) this species is often mistaken for L. minuta in the general shape and size of both sexes.
For Jeong & al. (2009, p.518) this species is closely related to L. minuta, but can be distinguished (see Remaks in L. minuta) | | | Last update : 25/10/2015 | |
