Ranjan leg. Diagnosis: T. bilineata is diagnosed by the central Y mark of forewing densely covered with fuscous brown scales. In male genitalia, pair of apical spine like process on an approximately rectangular uncus and a conspicuously long ampulla are diagnostic. Morphologically, T. bilineata is closely similar to T. inimica ( Rong et al . 2017 : fig. 13) but can be easily separated on the basis of male genitalia. Distribution: Indian record: Sikkim (present study). Global records: China , Japan ( Rong et al . 2017 ). Remarks: So far, T. bilineata is reported from China and Japan . Reporting of T. bilineata from Sikkim is its first time record from India .
