Diagnosis.
This species is very similar to
T. varians
, but can be distinguished by the following characters: forewing with an obviously labiate spot in the discal cell; saccus not basally constricted; aedeagus strongly bent near the apex, posterior margin of the 8th sternite with two lateral processes. For worn specimens, genital dissection is strongly recommended to confirm identification.
