This is the only Lloydiella in which there is a clear median longitudinal trough in a well sclerotised T8, and 3 fairly well–defined interstitial lines (1–3); MPP short and narrow; aedeagal sheath with posterior area of sternite moderately broad (e.g. like Fig 220). Larva dorsally cream with extensive but irregular brown markings.
