In addition, this species is also similar to T. castanea Park, 2008 in the female genitalia, however it differs by the forewing with CuA 1 and CuA 2 stalked, and the greyish brown fringe of the forewing; in T. castanea, the veins CuA 1 and CuA 2 are coincident in the forewing, the fringe of the forewing is greyish brown in basal 2/3 and creamy white in distal 1/3 (Park 2008a: 371). Description. Adult (Fig. 11). Wingspan 13.5‒16.0 mm. Head dark brown, orange white on frons and laterally.

Gnathos with basal plate elongate triangular; mesial process wide at base, narrowed to basal 2/3, thereafter slender to pointed apex, curved ventrad at distal 1/3 by a right angle. Valva broad and parallel-sided basally, narrowed to cucullus; cucullus longer than half length of valva, slightly narrowed medially, widened from about middle to broadly obtuse apex, ventral margin sinuate and produced to a papillary process bearing a strong spiniform setae at middle; costa straight in basal 1/5, concave in distal 4/5; sacculus broadly banded, nearly straight ventrally. Vinculum narrow, nearly straight on anterior margin. Juxta subquadrate, straight on posterior margin, gently produced at middle on lateral margin, obtuse on anterior margin, protuberant along longitudinal midline; posterolateral lobe small, triangular; lateral lobe papillary, bearing several long setae, arising from near posterolateral corner. Aedeagus nearly as long as valva, wide at base, tapered to an oblique apex, gently curved at basal 1/3; cornuti consisting of a row of strong spines running from base to basal 2/3. Female genitalia (Fig. 45). Eighth abdominal sternite deeply concave in U shape on posterior margin, forming two large subtriangular lateral lobes. Apophyses posteriores slightly longer than 1.5 times length of apophyses anteriores. Ostium bursae large. Antrum membranous anteriorly, sclerotized posteriorly forming two triangular lateral plates. Ductus bursae narrowly tubular, about half length of corpus bursae; ductus seminalis slender except broadened basally, arising from corpus bursae posteriorly.

Gnathos with basal plate sub-quadrate; median process broad at base, narrowed to about distal 1/3, then slender, curved ventrad preapically by a right angle. Costal bar uniformly narrow, slightly angled at middle. Valva broad basally, with a rectangular process medially on ventral margin; cucullus slightly wid- ened before rounded apex, with a row of short, strong setae from basal 1/3 to apex above ventral margin; sacculus narrow at base, slightly widened to before middle, then narrowed to ventral process of valva. Juxta slightly widened posteriorly, deeply concave in U shape on posterior margin, forming short posterolateral lobes rounded apically; with small process on outer margin of posterolateral lobe, shorter than posterolateral lobe; small imbricated process at middle on anterior margin. Vinculum triangularly produced anteriorly. Aedeagus slightly curved, shorter than valva, slightly narrowed from middle to obtuse apex; cornuti consisting of two needle-like spines, about 3/5 length of aedeagus. Seventh sternite (Fig. 14). Anterolateral rib thin, not reaching sixth abdominal segment; anterior margin produced medially, forming a trapezoidal process about same length as anterolateral rib. Female genitalia (Fig. 18). Eighth sternite shallowly concave at middle on posterior margin. Apophyses posteriores about twice length of apophyses anteriores.

Corpus bursae large elliptical; signum longitudinally elongated, rod-like, about 1/3 length of corpus bursae, with dense denticles, located posteriorly. Distribution. China (Hubei). Etymology.
