Hindwings on upper- and underside like forewings (Fig. 23). Male genitalia (Fig. 49) similar to those in L. griseata griseata, with short sclerotized costa with weakly marked distal tip (not a free process like in farinata and coassata), differing in the much larger harpe with a pointed, tooth-like apex and the longer dorsal arm.Juxta in L. ancyrana vase-shaped, nearly two times longer than in L. griseata griseata. Saccus much shorter than in farinata, but longer compared to griseata; aedaegous longer and more distinctly curved compared to griseata (Figs 47 –53). Bionomics. Collected in May and June at 1400m.
