[10] The body of this species carries cryptic, bright yellow or yellow-orange markings on a red and black background.

Easily recognisable differences are two additional vertical lines where the wing covers meet, and two comma-shaped marks at the bottom of the pronotum rather than a horizontal line.

Comparison of Eupoecila intricata (left) with Eupoecila australasiae (right) E. intricata feed on the pollen and nectar of flowering trees, such as eucalypts, Angophora and Ligustrum and contribute to the pollination of these trees and bushes.

The species co-occurs with E. australasiae in Australia's Great Dividing Range and adjoining areas in east Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.

The life history of this species has not been published but is often assumed to be identical to E. australasiae.
