diagnosis
Diagnosis. Corneae absent. Glp- 1 anterior to Ds- 1. Glps large. Ds- 2 on membranous cuticle. Ds- 3 on margin of PD. Two dorsal setae on PE. Female with 12 – 18 Pgs and 8 – 10 Sgs. Male with 52 – 73 Pgs and 8 Sgs. P- 2 with 1 or 2 ventral spines. Tb I with 6 Bp ventral setae; Ta III – IV with 4 - 3 dorsal and 2 - 1 ventral setae. Lc I with partial inflation near the middle of the claw shaft and unidentate accessory process. Idiosoma length 390 – 456 in female, 395 – 425 in male. Ratio of P- 2 to P- 1 5.70. Remarks. The species characteristically has a pair of large Glps on AD, OC, and PD. This character is similar to L. bispina, however, this species has longer palpi, more dosally situated Glp- 2, and weaker inflation of the claw shaft than that in L. bispina. Female, male, nymphs (stages are unclear), and LV are known. Habitat. Littoral zone: Coarse sands, shell fragments, rock crevices, under stones, kelp holdfasts. Distribution.
