Diagnosis.

Udea cyanalis is similar to Udea prunalis , Udea inquinatalis , Udea orbicentralis -complex and Udea albostriata sp. n. with similar ground colour and maculation as mentioned in diagnosis of Udea prunalis , but can be distinguished from them by the semicircular produced process of pseudognathos with nipple-shaped end in male genitalia. In female genitalia, this species differs from Udea prunalis , Udea inquinatalis and Udea grisealis Inoue, Yamanaka & Sasaki by ductus bursae approximately 1.8 times the length of the corpus bursae, the corpus bursae with narrowly crescent-shaped accessory signum, but lacking the lanceolate signum; differs from Udea nebulatalis Inoue, Yamanaka & Sasaki by ductus bursae approximately 1.8 times the length of the corpus bursae and nearly round corpus bursae; differs from Udea proximalis Inoue, Yamanaka & Sasaki and Udea intermedia Inoue, Yamanaka & Sasaki by crescent-shaped accessory signum but lacking the lanceolate or pyriform signum; differs from Udea orbicentralis and Udea albostriata sp. n. by lacking the lanceolate signum.
