Tridrepana maculosa Watson, 1957 , Bull. Br. Mus. nat. Hist. (Ent.), 4: 488, fig. 137, pl.3: 10. Holotype ♂, China: Yunnan: Lijiang. (ZFMK)

Diagnosis. The antemedial and postmedial lines of both wings are composed of largish dark spots; a series of lunate dots are present outside the postmedial line; the subterminal line is composed of dark spots between veins; the pale brown patches near the lower angle of the cell on the forewing are smaller, without dark spots inside. All of these characters are well differentiated from the other species of the sadana species group. In the male genitalia, T. maculosa is close to T. finita , but the eighth sternite is broader and shorter, with its posterior margin truncate and slightly concave posteriorly, while it is round in T. finita .
