Note.
The specimen labelled as
BC
ZSM
Lep 58655 has been used for barcoding. Molecular distance based on the Kimura two-parameter model for
COI
DNA
barcodes between
T
.
burmana
and its nearest species
T
.
glauca
is 5,59%; the distance between
T
.
burmana
and
T
.
naumanni
is 6,26%.
Diagnosis. Adult
(
Figs 9–12
). Wingspan
45–48 mm
. The species externally is similar to
T
.
naumanni
and
T
.
plumbea
, but differs from both by bipectinate male antennae (serrate in
T
.
naumanni
and strongly pectinate in
T
.
plumbea
), more intensive silver-grey with metallic shining colouration of forewing (grey without shining in
T
.
naumanni
or bronze-grey in
T
.
plumbea
). It also differs from
T
.
naumanni
by having contrast white orbicular, outlined by black and from
T
.
plumbea
by less dentate ante- and postmedial lines. Hindwing colouration varies from grey with hardly traceable terminal band and discal spot to yellowish with grey dusting, with distinct terminal band and greyish-brown basal area.
Male genitalia
(
Fig. 92
). Compared with related
T
.
naumanni
and
T
.
plumbea
by broader rounded uncus, narrover constricted apically valva, short harpe and thin aedeagus with unarmed vesica. Uncus short, broad, narrower medially and extended and rounded apically; tegumen twice higher than vinculum, bearing small penicular extensions; vinculum very large, V-shaped; transtilla with broad lobes bearing small spines; juxta shieldlike, broad, valva relatively short, broad basally, curved and prominently constricted apically, bearing a patch of strong setae on the tip sacculus narrow, harpe rather short, broad, almost straight, pointed apically. Aedeagus long, thin, slightly extended apically with carina bearing a patch of strong spines; vesica tubular, with subbasal and subapical diverticula, without cornuti.
Female genitalia
(
Fig. 122
). Differs from other congeners by very small antrum and long ribbed dusctus bursae. Ovipositor quadrangular, papillae anales moderate broad; antrum very small, triangular, shallow, weakly sclerotised; ductus bursae long, moderate wide, sclerotised and ribbed; corpus bursae rounded, membranous, with small lateral extension in caudal part.
