( Figs 10 , 28 , 44 ) Type material. CHINA , Xizang [ Tibet ]: Holotype ♂ , Zhangmu Town ( 27°59′N , 85°58′E ), Nielamu County , 1961 m , 8.VII.2019 , leg. MJ Qi & JQ Deng , slide No. YS 20111 . Paratypes : 2♀ , same data as holotype, slide No. YS 20323 . Diagnosis. This new species is similar to T. sortilega ( Meyrick, 1911 ) in both appearance and male genitalia. It can be distinguished by the antenna glabrous ventrally, in the female genitalia by the triangular signum wider than long; in T. sortilega , the antenna is ciliate ventrally in male, and the strawberry-shaped signum is longer than wide ( Park 2003a: 19 , fig. 9). Description. Adult ( Fig. 10 ). Wingspan 23.0‒23.5 mm. Head pale yellowish brown. Antenna with scape pale yellowish brown; flagellum orange white. Labial palpus with second palpomere orange white on inner surface, brown on outer surface; third palpomere pale yellowish brown, as long as second palpomere. Thorax and tegula yellowish brown. Forewing slightly widened distally, costal margin slightly arched, apex roundly produced, termen shallowly concave; ground color brown, mixed with yellowish brown scales; discal stigma blackish brown, rounded; discocellular stigmata blackish brown, doubled, small, rounded; subterminal line pale brownish yellow, obscure; fringe pale greyish brown, basal line orange white. Hindwing and fringe pale yellowish brown; fringe with an orange white basal line. Legs pale yellow except femora and tibiae yellowish brown ventrally. Male genitalia ( Fig. 28 ). Uncus wide at base, narrowed to basal 2/3, distal 1/3 clubbed; with a small spine at base laterally. Gnathos with basal plate triangularly produced posteriorly; mesial process wide at base, slightly narrowed to middle where it curved ventrad, distal half arched, slender to pointed apex. Valva broad basally, slightly narrowed to cucullus; cucullus about 2/5 length of valva, extending obliquely dorsad, triangular, narrowed from base to rounded apex, obtuse ventrally; costa concave medially, straight distally; sacculus wide at base, abruptly narrowed to basal 1/3, distal 2/3 slender to cucullus, ventral margin straight except gently arched basally. Vinculum narrow, rounded on anterior margin. Juxta quadrate, shallowly concave on posterior margin, produced to a papillary process at middle on anterior margin. Aedeagus shorter than valva, tubular, gently arched, denticulate ventrodistally; cornuti consisting of dense spines of variable size running from beyond middle to apex and a small, heavily sclerotized plate situated beyond middle. Female genitalia ( Fig. 44 ). Eighth abdominal sternite shallowly concave on posterior margin. Apophyses posteriores about twice length of apophyses anteriores. Antrum membranous, funnel-shaped. Ductus bursae distinctly shorter than corpus bursae, narrowed posteriorly, widened anteriorly; ductus seminalis slender, arising from about middle of ductus bursae. Corpus bursae large, elliptical; signum situated at posterior 1/3, triangular, wider than long, denticulate. Distribution. China ( Xizang [ Tibet ]). Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin par- and sortilega , referring to the similarity of the new species and T. sortilega .
