Males and females of all species and the eggs of L.scheirei sp.nov.
and L.bidoupensis sp.nov.
are described and illustrated.An identification key to the species and a distribution pabst blue ribbon chandelier map are provided.The definition of the tribe Clitumnini sensu Hennemann & Conle (2008) is slightly adapted to include the new genus and the tribal placement is discussed.
The male of L.scheirei sp.nov.
is able to stridulate by rubbing the outer margins of the tegmina against the subcostal and radial veins of the alae.
