This species resembles <i>L. nigra</i> in body coloration and partly smoothed mesoscutum but can be distinguished from the latter by the following combination of character states: yellow markings of the frons enlarged, with the inner margin close to the median ocellus (not enlarged, with the inner margin separated from the median ocellus by its diameter in <i>L. nigra</i>); scutellum with a conspicuous yellow marking (entirely black in <i>L. nigra</i>); ovipositor sheath 1.6–1.7 × as long as hind tibia (1.45 in <i>L. nigra</i>).</p>Published as part of <i>Watanabe, Kyohei & Ito, Masato, 2023, Revision of the genus Leptobatopsis Ashmead, 1900 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Banchinae) from Japan, with some taxonomic notes of Asian species, pp. 401-426 in Zootaxa 5339 (5)</i> on pages 419-424, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5339.5.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/8309300">http://zenodo.org/record/8309300</a>
