REMARKS. A wide ranging species that is often common in collections. The claspers diverge laterally from their base and form a claw-like terminus. The basal pygofer lobes are reduced. The species can be distinguished from
T. demissa
and
T. misella
by the lack of infuscation on the apex of the fore wing in these species. This species can be distinguished from
T. nitida
by the transverse piceous band on the anterior abdominal tergites and the drooping claspers of
T. nitida
(

.
