Diagnosis.

The species is very similar to Cyclidia diehli Lutz & Kobes, 2002 (Sumatra) externally, but can be distinguished by the blackish brown and more distinct forewing submarginal line. The most distinct differences are in the male genitalia: the terminal part of the uncus is much narrower and longer; a rounded process with short setae is absent on the basal part of each socius, while Cyclidia diehli has this character; the terminal part of the valva is much broader than that of Cyclidia diehli . The male and female genitalia are also similar to those of Cyclidia substigmaria , the diagnosis can be seen under Cyclidia substigmaria substigmaria .
