Adult (Fig. 14) wingspan 22.0–27.0 mm.
Diagnosis. This species is characterized by the gnathos with two long and thorn-like lateral processes at base of the lateral arms of the gnathos, apically trifurcate, distal process of the gnathos and the sclerotized median plate extending outward (Fig. 29). It is similar to L. angustusa Wang, Chen & Wu, 2017 in the male genitalia, but it can be distinguished by the subtrapezoidal uncus, valva with costa not swollen distallly, sacculus with the outer lobe of the dorsal process about 1/2 the length of the inner one, and phallus with one cornutus (Fig. 29); in the female genitalia by the papillae anales strongly sclerotized along the lateral margin, lamella antevaginalis enlagate ovate, and an inverted trapezoidal antrum (Fig. 43). In L. angustusa, the uncus is subrectangular, distal 1/3 of the costa of the valva is swollen, outer lobe of the dorsal process is less than 1/5 the length of the inner lobe, and phallus has two cornuti (Fig. 22); papillae anales are not sclerotized, lamella antevaginalis is subrectangular, and antrum is subquadrate (Fig. 38).
Distribution. China (Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Tianjin, Yunnan).
