diagnosis · Plazi
Diagnosis. This species differs from L. jihe sp. nov. , L. davidi , and L. stridulans by absence of stridulatory ridges on the chelicerae in both sexes. Male of L. wufeng sp. nov. resembles that of L. zhangping sp. nov. in having slightly thick embolus but can be distinguished by serrulate embolic keel visible in retrolateral view (Fig. 6 F vs Fig. 9 E ) and by subterminal protuberance connected to a hook-shaped apex (Fig. 6 D, E vs Fig. 9 D, E ). Females of L. wufeng sp. nov. differ from L. zhangping sp. nov. by spermathecae with less distinct constriction between lobes and stalks (Fig. 6 G – J vs Fig. 10 A – G ).
