How to Identify Lypusidae

Key Identification Features

• The stigmata are very obscurely darker, and the second discal stigma sits on an indistinct oblique darker shade running from the 3/5 position of the costa to the tornus.
• The third pair of legs is positioned on a shining tubercle, a feature that may only occur in male larvae.
• An indistinct blackish angulated transverse line runs around one-third of the wing length, and does not reach the dorsum.
