Lophoptera coangulata Warren, 1914 , Novit. zool., 21: 416. Syntypes: 1 male, 1 female, [ India]: [Meghalaya], Khasia Hills (BMNH).

Diagnosis. Forewing is blackish-brown with purple shining, and a triangular greyish-white patch before apex. Externally this species resembles L. stipata (Walker, 1863) , but differs by male genitalia: the uncus is basally narrower than that of L. stipata ; the tegumen is not constricted terminally, the costa has a ridge from the base to the middle, but that of L. stipata has a costal process arising from basal one third and about half length of the valva. In the female genitalia, the ostium bursae is large, circled, but that of L. stipata is much smaller; the posterior edge of the ostium is smooth, while in L. stipata it is W-shaped.
