Diagnosis. The new species is similar to
L. ficki
(
Christoph, 1881
)
and
L. monticola
Yamanaka, 2000
by their similar uncus and valva. However, the new species has the gnathos with tridentate apex and the sacculus with two equal length spines, while the latter two have the gnathos with hooked apex and the sacculus with two unequal length spines.
Description. Adult male. Forewing length 8.5–9.0 mm (
n
= 2). Head yellow mixed with few fuscous scales; first and second segments of labial palpus with yellow scales on outer side and fuscous scales on inner side; third segment with pale brown scale; maxillary palpus pale yellow; antenna pale brown, scape extension golden, mixed with fuscous scales. Thorax mixed with pale brown and yellow scales. Forewing covered with yellow and fuscous scales, a black tuft located at apex of cell; postmedial fascia straight, yellow with black edge on inner side and brown edge on outer side, respectively, outer area covered with fuscous scales; cilia brown. Hindwing with similar pattern as forewing, but basal area mixed with dark-yellow and black scales, outer area covered with rufous scales.
Male genitalia. Uncus broad, suffused with dense setae. Gnathos with apex tridentate and base extended two strongly sclerotized spine-like processes laterally. Valva slowly broaden from base to apex, terminal margin truncated; a sclerotized plate from sacculus to center of valva, apex rounded; costa sclerotized; sacculus with two spine-like processes in middle, nearly same length. Juxta plate like, bifurcated at apex. Phallus slender, slightly curved in middle, with a sclerotized platelike cornutus in middle.
