| Distribution of L. diletata based on available literature | |
It has a finely granular surface and a body that is slightly convex, as well as eyes that are large and convex. It has relatively small uropods.[2]
It can be differentiated from L. glabrata, with which it shares some range, by its antennae. The antennae of L. dilatata are longer, reaching the end of its thorax.[3]
