Adult ( Fig. 10 ) wingspan 21.0–23.0 mm.

Diagnosis. This species is characterized in the male genitalia by the sub-oval uncus with an apically hooked lateral process on each side, valva with distal 2/5 of the costa swollen on the dorsal margin, median plate of the valva thin and sclerotized on the outer margin, and slim dorsal process of the sacculus curved and thorn-shaped ( Fig. 26 ). It is similar to L. longifundamena Wang, Chen & Wu, 2017 superficially and externally, but can be distinguished by the rectangular uncus with the lateral process hooked apically, obtusely rounded outer margin of the valva, inner process of the sacculus about twice the length of the outer one, and juxta with the sub-triangular lateral lobes serrulate slightly on distal half ( Fig. 26 ). In L. longifundamena , the uncus is rounded at apex and length is almost equal to the width, lateral process is not hooked at apex, valva is truncated or arched slightly inward on the outer margin, inner process of the sacculus is at least 5 times as long as the outer one, and lateral lobes of the long needle-shaped juxta are not serrulate on the outer edge of the distal half ( Fig. 28 ).

Distribution. China (Guangxi, Hainan, Jiangxi).
