Diagnosis.

This species is very similar to T. adunca in the external characters: the postmedial line of the hindwing is without protrusion and straight; a sharp protrusion is present on the frons. Reliable identification of T. correspondens and T. adunca is possible using the genital characters: in the male genitalia, the arm between the valvula and the sacculus is less curved in T. correspondens than that in T. adunca , and reaches to the apex of the sacculus. The seventh sternite of the female T. correspondens is broader than that of T. adunca ; the colliculum of T. correspondens is longer than that of T. adunca .
