Remarks
Lathrobium tianmushanense is closest to Lathrobium cooteri from Zhejiang by sharing a similar general form. It can be readily separated by the male sternite VI with modified setae at the concavity and male sternite VIII with relatively regular emargination. While Lathrobium cooteri has the male sternite VI lacking sexual characters and male sternite VIII possess an irregular emargination.
