L. haraldusalis
, which also distinguish this species from others of the genus.

Head mixed with fuscous and yellow; first and second segments of labial palpus with fuscous scales on outer side and yellow scales on inner side; third segment with pale brown scale; maxillary palpus yellow; antenna brown, scape extension yellow, mixed with more black scales on outer side. Thorax mixed with fuscous and yellow scales. Forewing covered with yellow, fuscous black and pink scales; central area mixed with pink and fuscous scales, postmedial fascia straight, yellow with black edge on inner side and brown edge on outer side, respectively, outer area covered with fuscous and pink scales; cilia brown. Hindwing with similar pattern as forewing.

Valva nearly same width from base to apex, terminal margin arc-shaped; costa slightly sclerotized; sacculus with two processes in middle, the inner one strong with apex serrated, the outer one small, thorn-like, a broad sclerotized plate from sacculus to center of valva.
