Description

Lomaspilis species have a wingspan reaching 24–28 millimetres (0.94–1.10 in). Males have simple or fasciculate-ciliate antennae. Forewings have convexly curved outer margins. They are usually white or ochreous white, with dark bands and blotches. Hindwings usually are showily patterned. The basic color is white or ochreous white, with a dark fuscous marginal band. In the early stages larvae feed on Salix species.[1][2]
