This is one of five species, including Loboscelidia cervix , Loboscelidia novoguineana , Loboscelidia ora and Loboscelidia parva , where the frontal projection is broadly flattened and nearly linear in front view. It can be distinguished from these species by the arched medial vein, cu-a as long as or longer than R, foretibial flange as wide as tubular part of tibia, and the mid and hindtibial flanges 1.5 × as wide as tubular part of the tibiae or wider.
