03E4E02DF923FF9BD7ABFAA6FC52C4EF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Coptotriche is characterized by the membranous socii with spinules, the uncus composed of two large subtriangular lateral lobes, the tegumen with a spinous diaphragm, the wide valva, the presence of a transtilla, and a tulip-shaped phallus. Coptotriche is not distinguishable from other genera in appearance. However, the presence of a transtilla in the male genitalia distinguishes it from other genera in the family Tischeriidae.	en	Zhang, Xiuying, Sun, Hao, Li, Houhun (2025): Preliminary taxonomic review of the genus Coptotriche Walsingham, 1890 (Lepidoptera: Tischeriidae) in China, including descriptions of three new species.

03E4E02DF925FF93D7ABF8C0FEDFC35A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species is similar to Coptotriche rosella (Gerasimov, 1937) in the male genitalia, but it can be distinguished by the forewing mixed with yellow and dark brown scales evenly but without a cilia-line, in the male genitalia by the phallus not constricted distally. In C. rosella, the forewing has dense brown scales at tornus and the cilia-line formed by a row of brown scales; and the phallus is distinctly constricted at distal 1 / 7 in the male genitalia (Diškus 1998: 28, fig. 21).	en	Zhang, Xiuying, Sun, Hao, Li, Houhun (2025): Preliminary taxonomic review of the genus Coptotriche Walsingham, 1890 (Lepidoptera: Tischeriidae) in China, including descriptions of three new species.
