Male ( Figs 85–90 ) Diagnosis. It belongs in species group lucida, Subgroup MPB 2A (see Classification below). It is close to T. galileii , differing from it by having the median process of the central sclerite of the hypandrium distally more deeply incised, with lobes larger than in T. galileii , the distal acuminate processes in the posterior endophallic sclerites much longer than in the former, and the mesal arms of the anterior endophallic sclerites much wider than those in T. galileii . Color (in 80% ethanol). Body pale brown. Head pale brown, with dark brown spots pattern ( Fig. 87 ). Compound eyes brown; ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents; antennae pale brown, flagellomeres with cream apices; maxillary palps pale brown, Mx4 darker. Thorax pale brown, with small brown spots on tergal lobes of meso- and metathorax; pleurae light brown, with small ochre spots. Coxae light brown, with two small dark spots, trochanters and femora light brown, with small dark spots, tibiae and tarsi pale brown. Forewings hyaline, with brown areas as illustrated, pterostigma pale brown, with a small hyaline median area; veins pale brown, a pale brown spot on vein ends ( Fig. 85 ). Hindwings hyaline, veins brown ( Fig. 86 ). Abdomen creamy, with pale brown subcuticular spots; hypandrium, paraprocts and epiproct pale brown; endophallic sclerites dark brown. Morphology . As in diagnosis, plus the following: Head ( Fig. 87 ): H/MxW: 1.44; H/D: 2.70; IO/MxW: 0.75. Vertex slightly emarginate, above the upper border of the compound eyes. Outer cusp of lacinial tips broad, with four denticles. Mx4/Mx2: 1.21. Forewings ( Fig. 85 ): L/W: 2.56. Pterostigma: lp/wp: 4.06. Areola postica triangular: la/ha: 1.79, CuA 1 straight. Hindwings ( Fig. 86 ): l/p: 2.83. Hypandrium ( Fig. 89 ) of three sclerites, central sclerite with anterior margin strongly convex, mesally projected to the sides. Phallosome with side struts slender, V-shaped anteriorly, fused basally; three pairs of endophallic sclerites, anterior pair T-shaped, with inner arms strongly curved on the inner side, close together in the middle, acuminate basally, with abundant acuminate small teeth on the inner margin ( Fig. 90 ), outer arm elongate and laterally curved, projecting towards the posterior endophallic sclerite, this proximally narrow, distally wide, with two apical elongate and acuminate processes inwardly directed, mesal arm elongate, laminar, wide and apically pointed; pair of mesal endophallic sclerites elbowed in the middle, basally truncate, almost touching in the middle, distally bifurcate; external parameres membranous, distally rounded, bearing pores, directed inward. Paraprocts oval, with abundant medium and short sized setae and macrosetae on apical third, one macroseta with spatulate apex, sensory fields with 30 trichobothria on basal rosettes ( Fig. 88 ). Epiproct ( Fig. 88 ) wide, broadly rounded posteriorly, setae as illustrated. Measurements.
