Similiar species:
Locharna limbata (Collenette, 1932).
The dark form male of limbata has a buff band along the margin of the hind wing. Locharna strigipennis lacks this buff band. Females of the two species, and the male pale form of Locharna strigipennis are difficult to separate without specimens.
