Systematics: http://zoobank.org/83A4BFEC-226E-4382-8989-F674F704A2B3 The adult female of L. newi would be confused most easily with those of L. melliodorae, as both species have strongly recurved marginal setae. The adult female of L. newi can be distinguished from those of L. melliodorae by lacking urn-shaped sclerotic structures on the dorsum (present in L. melliodorae). In their place are heavily sclerotized microtrichia. The adult female of L. newi can be further differentiated from those of L. melliodorae by having no dorsal macrotubular ducts with a seta touching the rim of the dermal orifice (some present in L. melliodorae) and by lacking long setae at the middle of the posterolateral edge of antennal segment III. (Hardy, et al., 2019).
Structure: Adult female body outline of holotype slightly oblong; length 1.98 mm, greatest width 1.35 mm. Eyes 33 μm wide. Antennae seven-segmented; Dorsum without sclerotic invaginations; marginal fringe of curved setae; anal ring invaginated. (Hardy, et al., 2019).
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration in Hardy, et al., 2019.
