I think this is probably L caesar.

Thank you Susan:). Could you explain me why are you inclined towards that particular species?

The main things are the almost touching eyes and only two post sutural acrostical bristles. To be absolutely certain I would want to see all three legs and get a good view of the occiput hairs.

Susan, I only have this photo. I don't have good photos of the occiput hairs.

Still can't quite be sure. So frustrating, isn't it? For your information, the other contender is L ampullacea.

Thank you very much for your efforts Susan. In a next occasion I'll know what parts are important to photograph.
