Strong sexual dimorphism, subbasal cell of forewing without brownish patch and sparsely setose, tarsal claws with ventral lamella, vein 1Cua of the forewing short and hardly widened, and vertex darkened this species is closely related to H. nupera (Cresson, 1872). Hymenochaonia lilianamadrigalae differs by the yellowish brown mesoscutal lobes (more or less darkened) and POL approx. equal to diameter of posterior ocellus (approx. 1.6 × diameter of posterior ocellus).
