Diagnosis. This species is quite close to T. rectifascia on external features. It is distinguishable from the latter in that the cell and posterodistal spots of the forewing are smaller and less distinct than that in T. rectifascia . In the male genitalia, the uncus is broader and shorter than that of T. rectifascia . It is also close to T. postica in the male genitalia but the valva lacks an irregularly shaped lobe on the centre of the ventral margin and a hairy oblique ridge as in T. postica ( Fig. 104 in Watson, 1957).
