Material not physically examined. Unknown.

Literature. None. New record.

Localities. Nee Soon

Habitat/Ecology. This species was found in secondary swamp forest, where individuals were collected from rotting wood.

Remarks. Slight morphological differences from L. hewitti in its original description, but this may be variation between allopatric populations, thus we treat the Singapore specimens as conspecific to those from Borneo. This tentative species record may be changed should new evidence be made available in future indicating heterospecificity.
