14mm,
21-22mm. The facies is like that of L. barlowi
Schintlmeister but a darker grey, with the markings clearer. The forewing
discal chevron is entire rather than punctate, and there is a more distinct,
broader, paler zone between the postmedial and the submarginal. The hindwings
have a slightly more distinct dark border. The male genitalia have the dorsal
arms of the valves long, distinctively evenly curved, arising more basally than
in other members of the strigata group. The ventral arms are straight,
slender, arising much more distally.
