Diagnosis.
♂ Forewing length:
27.5–28 mm
.
L. manzorum
can be distinguished from the other species of the
manzorum-
group by the combination of the following characters: a) underside of both wings with reddish fasciae and bars that are thicker and wider than those in other species(e.g. width of forewing postdiscal fasciae in space 3:
1.2–1.5 mm
in
manzorum
, 1.0–
1.1 mm
in others; width of hindwing postdiscal fasciae in space 3:
1.5–1.6 mm
in
manzorum
,
0.9–1.2 mm
in others); b) underside of hindwing with a reddish spot often present near the lower edge of the discoidal cell, which is absent in the other species; c) gnathos evenly broad, whereas it is expanded and pointed distally in
L. monilifera
(
Fig. 25
a) and gradually tapered distally in the other species (
Figs. 25
c, d); d) the apical part of the valva is pointed without distinct dorsal lobe, whereas it has a well-developed dorsal lobe in
L. monilifera
(
Figs. 22, 23
); e) ventral edge of valva only slightly protruding (
Figs. 19, 20
), whereas the central part of the ventral edge is angular in the other species.
Note.
The male illustrated in figs. 5 and 6 is an aberrant individual in which the hindwing postdiscal blackish spots in cells M2 and M3 are fused to a single spot on both sides.
Distribution.

(Sichuan).
