This species is similar to
Promalactis diehli
Lvovsky, 2000a
in the wing pattern, but it can be easily distinguished by the fore wing without a white medial band. The male genitalia are also close to
P. diehli
Lvovsky
, but it can be distinguished by the shorter and thicker juxta bearing dense hairs caudally, and the cucullus heavily sclerotized and the sacculus with a claviform process.
