| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Distinguished from members of the L. muelleri species group in Western Australia with fused frontoparietals (L. allochira, L.amicorum a nd L.rhodonoides) by having paired frontoparietals. Distinguished from other Western Australian members of the species group with paired frontoparietal as follows: from L. haroldi, L. jacksoni, L. micra, L. muelleri and L. nevinae by having five supraciliaries ( 1+2 i n L. muelleri, four, very rarely three in L. haroldi, L. jacksoni, L, micra and L. nevinae). Four species (L. kingi, L. occulta, L.rolfei and L. verhmens) like L.clara, have five supraciliaries but differ from L.clara in having at least some dark pigment on the lower flanks and venter (immaculate opalescent white in L. clara). |
