One male, designated here as a lectotype is a synonym of L. bomfordii, the other one, here designated as a paralectotype, belongs to Laemoglyptus vicinus Pic, 1921, the female paralectotypes cannot be attributed to any concrete species, specimens from Bengal were not at the disposal. Another specimen from Kumaon, was in the original description, excluded from the type series. The examinations of the aedeagi of the above mentioned type material allow the new synonymy.	en	Švihla, Vladimír, Kopetz, Andreas (2012): A review of the genus Laemoglyptus from the Himalayas (Coleoptera: Cantharidae).

The aedeagus of Laemoglyptus cechovskyi sp. nov. most resembles that of L. jaegeri Kazantsev, 2009, from which it differs by the much more deeply emarginate apex of the dorsal part of the aedeagus and the presence of lateral inner projections of this part, situated in ca. the midlength of it. In the other species of L. bhutanensis - subgroup there is not such a strongly curved apical portions of the dorsal part (as in L. himalayanus sp. nov.) and / or the apical emargination is much wider and rounded (cf.
