Diagnosis.
Wingspan:
13 mm
.
Forewing: rounded, very broad, dark brown.
Transverse lines: antemedial line blackish-brown; postmedial and subterminal line brown; terminal line with small, elongate black dots.
Reniform: small, inconspicuous, dark brown, no open space medially.
Hindwing: grey-brown; folded along body for pheromone deposit, with specialised tightly clustered, short, yellow setae.
Hindleg: with massive tuft of long black hair-like setae.
Underside: unicolorous dark brown.
Abdomen: brown with long anal tuft.
Male genitalia.
Saccus: short and rounded.
Vinculum: short.
Tegumen: long.
Tergite and sternite: indistinct.
Valve: longer than wide.
Costa
: almost straight.
Sacculus: narrow, inconspicuous.
Ampulla: slightly asymmetrical, teardrop-shaped (apo.).
Pollex
: small, broad, and rounded, with long hair-like setae.
Digitus: digitus prominent, slightly asymmetrical; left digitus slightly longer than right one and with a tiny subapical spine.
Juxta: higher than wide.
Anellus: fused with juxta.
Phallus: very narrow and long, smoothly curving subapically; coecum long and pointed.
Differential diagnosis. Differences from the other species of
Tolpia
are listed under the species-group. The shape of ampulla and pollex are similar to those of the
Disca
species
, but the heavily black tuft on the hindleg, and the shape of phallus place
T. mccabei
in
Tolpia
.
