==Type material==
Holotype: ♀, 28.06.–13.07.2015, Malaise trap, leg. J. Kjaerandsen & M. T. Dahl, TSZD-JKJ-103935 in TSZD (Tromsø)
===Type locality===
'''Norway''', Troms, Skaktarelvmoen, Øvre Dividal LVN, 68.766 N, 19.713 E

==Diagnosis==
The subspecies is solely based on its unique COI sequence.

===DNA Barcoding===
The COI sequence is assigned to BIN {{BIN|ACU7107}} (average distance 1.2%, max. 1.8%, n=3, K2P: 4.31%).

==Discussion==
Only one sequenced female from Norway was studied, but there are two more specimens from Finland belonging to the same BIN. ''Le. truncata tertia'' is the subspecies with the highest K2P. With more than 4% it might well be a distinct species.

==Etymology==
''lat''. tertius = third. In the count of subspecies it is the third one.

==Distribution==
Finland, Norway.
