Diagnosis. Adult ( Figs 2C View FIGURE 2 , 13C, D View FIGURE 13 ). Wingspan 9.5−14.0 mm. Thiotricha celata has a creamy white to yellow forewing marked with fuscous streaks. The general coloration can vary and the markings can be indistinct depending on the specimens, but this species is easily distinguished from other species by the extremely short male antennal ciliation. The males of other congeneric species typically have ciliae at least as long as the diameter of the flagellum. The male sternum VIII ( Fig. 25Q View FIGURE 25 ) is unique as it bears a projection at middle of the lateral margins. The male genitalia ( Fig. 38C View FIGURE 38 ) of T. celata are similar to those of T. fuscobasis , but a row of stiff setae is present along the posterior margin of uncus, the anellus lobe is larger and the aedeagus is medially much narrower in the former.

Distribution. China (Gansu, Guizhou, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Henan, Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Liaoning, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Zhejiang), Korea, Japan, Russia (Primorsk Territory).

Remarks. The species was included in the phylogenetic study of Thiotrichinae ( Lee et al. 2021) and it was sister to T. poecilopa based on the molecular data.
