Opisthosoma nearly oval, dorsum gray with many hairs; anteriorly with a pair of longitudinal black stripes, muscular depressions visible, posteriorly with 2 pairs of transverse blackish markings, laterally grayish yellow with some small white spots; venter light yellow with small silver spots.</p>
            <p>Epigyne-vulva (Figs 2 b–e). Epigyne with a pair of hoods anteriorly, the posterior portion of epigyne transparent and rugose; copulatory opening diagonally split-shaped; copulatory ducts large with helix-shaped curve; spermathecae small, kidney-shaped.</p>

            <p> Diagnosis. This species is similar to  L. subdianicus sp. nov.

            <p>Diagnosis. Male palp with VTA and RTA, VTA stout, RTA with a small basal apophysis, bulb without apophysis, embolus short, nail-shaped (Figs 11 c–e, g). Female epigyne with small arched sclerotized plate; copulatory ducts short; spermathecae globular (Figs 11 f, h, i).</p>
            <p>Variation. Total length: males: 2.80–3.20 (n = 41); females: 2.90–3.80. (n = 128). Some specimens have a large “n”-shaped black marking on the dorsal shield of prosoma while it is completely dark in others (Figs 11a, b). The abdominal markings vary in size.</p>
            <p>Distribution. Bhutan, China (recorded from Counties of Gongshan, Tengchong, Fugong, Longling and Yongping, also from Kunming City, Yunnan Province).</p>
            <p> Remarks. This species is similar to  L. excultus (O. P.-Cambridge, 1885) in general appearance and the structures of genital organs. It is very difficulty to find differences between figs 3 a–c given in Song &amp; Zhao (1994) for  L. kunmingensis and figs. 19–24 given in Marusik (1993) for  L. excultus . Possibly, this species is a junior synonym of  L. excultus . </p>

            <p> Remarks. This species is widely distributed from Bhutan, Nepal, through China to Japan and Russia. The abdominal dorsum markings vary greatly from grayish yellow with some small white and black spots to large black markings with small black spots. This species is very similar to  L. niger Ono, 1979 ; but can be separated from the latter by: epigyne without a sclerotized plate (epigyne with a sclerotized plate in  L. niger ). Although both species vary greatly in abdominal markings, the dorsal shield of prosoma usually gray with black lateral stripes (always mostly black in  L. niger ). </p>
