Comments. Tainarys inopinata bears an anteriorly rounded head, a short, wide frons, forewings with a costal break and small surface spinules on the membrane, and relatively slender legs. Because of these characters T. inopinata belongs to Tainarys rather than to L eurolophus as was suggested by Burckhardt (1989).
