Morphological Features

Wing pattern indistinguishable from those of Leucinodes orbonalis, Leucinodes africensis, Leucinodes rimavallis, Leucinodes kenyensis and "Leucinodes spp.", but distinguished from Leucinodes malawiensis by the absence of the forewing basal transversal streak and the presence of the apical half moon-shaped patch, and from Leucinodes laisalis, Leucinodes ethiopica and Leucinodes ugandensis by the predominantly white forewing ground colour. Frons moderately to strongly bulged. Male genitalia very similar to those of Leucinodes orbonalis, but valva tips slimmer and more acute, juxta with larger hemicircular base, elongated saccus tip and more prominent oval sclerite at posterior phallus apodeme. Female genitalia: sternite 8 intruding into the posteriorly somewhat constricted antrum, giving it a globular appearance.
