REMARKS. A wide ranging species that is often common in collections. The claspers diverge laterally from their base and form a claw-like terminus. The basal pygofer lobes are reduced. The species can be distinguished from T. demissa and T. misella by the lack of infuscation on the apex of the fore wing in these species. This species can be distinguished from T. nitida by the transverse piceous band on the anterior abdominal tergites and the drooping claspers of T. nitida ( Sanborn 2017a) .

DISTRIBUTION. The species ranges over much of South America. It is currently known from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela ( Metcalf 1963c; Sanborn 2013; 2017a; 2018c; Sanborn & Heath 2014).
