Remarks

This species was described from an unspecified number of females. The lectotype is mounted on a card and is missing its left fore wing. Although the type locality was recorded as Scotland, Cameron (1910) records it from Spain, so this specimen is not excluded from the type series. A Spanish locality is also more likely because this is a largely southern European species which only just extends into south-east England. British material of both sexes of T. conotoma has been examined (specimens in BMNH); the male is identical with the description of Oxypria bouceki Masner, 1959 syn. nov.
