Holotype male: Viet Nam: Tuyen Quang Prov., 360 m, Na Hang Reserve, 16–20 May 1997, FIT, S. B. Peck, 97-10 (CNC).
Diagnosis
This species is characterized by the absence of the cu-a vein and having a submedially curved medial vein, characters shared with Loboscelidia cinnamonea. It can be distinguished from Loboscelidia cinnamonea by Rs 3× as long or longer than R, scape 3× or shorter as long as broad, scrobal sulcus present and the fore and midtibiae without flanges.
