This species is similar to T. brunnescens (Moore) in appearance, but can be distinguished from it by having 11–13 radial black dots in the forewing, whereas there are only 6–7 radial black dots in T. brunnescens . It is also close to T. guttella in the male genitalia, but can be separated by the triangular process in the ventral aspect of gnathal arm ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 8 – 10 ), which is fingerlike in T. guttella .
