We present normal forms of elliptic automorphic Lie algebras with dihedral symmetry of order 4, which arise naturally in the context of Landau-Lifshitz type of equations. These normal forms provide a transparent description and allow a classification of such Lie algebras over ℂ. Using this perspective, we show that a Lie algebra introduced by Uglov, as well as the hidden symmetry algebra of the Landau-Lifshitz equation by Holod, are both isomorphic to an elliptic \mathfraksl(2,ℂ)-current algebra. Furthermore, we realise the Wahlquist-Estabrook algebra of the Landau-Lifshitz equation in terms of elliptic automorphic Lie algebras. This construction reveals that, as complex Lie algebras, it is isomorphic to the direct sum of an \mathfraksl(2,ℂ)-current algebra and the two-dimensional abelian Lie algebra ℂ2. Finally, we explicitly implement the automorphic Lie algebra framework in the context of an n-component generalisation of the Landau-Lifshitz equation by Golubchik and Sokolov in the case of n=3.
