Trilocha friedeliDierl, 1978, Spixiana3 (1): 243. TL: “S-Thailand, 20 kmO. von Krabi”. Holotype: male (ZSM) [examined]. Trilocha friedeliDierl, 1978: 248; Barlow, 1982: 45.
Diagnosis.This species is very similar to T. varians, but can be distinguished by the following characters: forewing with an obviously labiate spot in the discal cell; saccus not basally constricted; aedeagus strongly bent near the apex, posterior margin of the 8th sternite with two lateral processes. For worn specimens, genital dissection is strongly recommended to confirm identification.
