Lacida biplagata van Eecke

The forewing is dark blackish grey with a paler basal area. This blackish grey almost obscures the marginal black marks that typify the genus, but these are enclosed by the fine pale lunules of the submarginal. There is a transverse black discal mark. This male is voucher for the data logged under ?Cozola sp. by Chey (2006: 397).
