; gen. slide no. CIS-6063.
Diagnosis.
The male genitalia of the new species are similar to those of
T. parotidosa
(
Wu, 1994
)
, which are known in
China
and
Thailand
, but it can be distinguished by the valva extremely narrowed beyond the rectangular basal part, and the juxta with asymmetrical latero-caudal lobes. The new species is also differentiated from the latter by the more or less slender 2
nd
segment of labial palpus, whereas
T. parotidosa
has rough scales ventrally.
Description.
Adult (
Figs. 2A–C
). Wingspan 19.0 mm.
Head:
Yellowish brown dorsally. Antenna slightly longer than forewing; scape elongated, not dilated apically, grayish orange; flagellum grayish orange, lacking annulations, not ciliate. Second segment of labial palpus thickened; 3
rd
segment broken.

Thorax
: Tegula and thorax yellowish brown dorsally. Hind tibia with rough scales above from base to near apex; apex with white scales. Forewing ground color grayish orange to yellowish brown, without distinct markings; costa slightly arched around basal 1/3 and beyond 2/3; apex obtuse; termen slightly concave; fringe concolorous with ground color; venation with R

nearly connate at base; apex obtuse; termen slightly concave; fringe concolorous with ground color.
Abdomen
(
Fig. 3F
): Spinous zones on dorsal surface nearly triangularly developed.
Male genitalia
(
Figs. 3D, E
). Uncus elongated, heavily sclerotized, bent downward, much exceeded posterior margin of the basal plate of gnathos. Median process of gnathos narrowed toward apex, strongly bent beyond 2/3, sharply pointed apically. Tegumen weakly sclerotized, concave in inverted V-shape on anterior margin. Valva broad at base, quadrate in basal part, abruptly narrowed medially; cucullus broadly expanded into spoon-shaped, with round outer margin; sacculus not developed. Vinculum banded, sclerotized. Juxta shield-shaped; latero-caudal processes asymmetrical, left one longer and right one about 1/2 length of the left, with median ridge in anterior half. Aedeagus very stout basally; width of basal half about 1.5 times than the width of basal part of valva, as long as valva; cornuti consisting of a heavily sclerotized, crescent plate with wrinkled tube basally beyond middle, a long, narrow sac containing numerous conic spines from near base to 2/3 length of aedeagus.
Female unknown.
Distribution.
Cambodia
(
Mondulkiri Prov.
).
Etymology.
The species name is derived from the Latin,
spatha
(= spoon-shaped, paddle), with a Latin suffix, -
anus,
referring /to the paddle-shaped valva in the male genitalia.
