23mm, 
24-25mm. The facies is as in the forms of magniplaga with pale patches
but the species is larger, the leprous patches diagnostically yellowed
centrally. The central patch is somewhat rounder than in magniplaga, with a
small posterior indentation. In the male abdomen there are weak elliptical zones
on tergites 4-7 as in major, but the uncus is tapering rather than
oblong, and the harpe processes, though similar, are set closer together, the
angular one of major rounded in luteileprosa.
