This new species is similar to T. chinanensis , T. vietnamensis sp. nov. , and T. manoconta Wu & Liu. It can be distinguished from them only by features of the male genitalia: apex of uncus smaller, less expanded laterally; lateral lobe of juxta digitate with serrate edge preapically; cornuti a long spine, about 1/3 length of aedeagus and shorter one forming a round plate with spines. Description . Male. Forewing length 19–20 mm . Head shiny, pale brownish yellow, with concolorous erect scales laterally. Antenna with pedicel pale brownish orange, shiny dorsally; flagellum pale brownish orange throughout, with pale brownish annulations. Second segment of labial palpus rather slender, pale brownish orange all around; 3rd segment as long as second, dark brown ventrally. Tegula and thorax shiny golden brown. Forewing ground color shiny golden brown, often with large yellowish triangular or elongate patch near 2/3 on inner margin; apex somewhat round; termen less oblique; fringe golden brown. R3 stalked at basal 1/3; R4 and R5 stalked beyond basal 4/5; R5 to termen; M1 close to R3+4+5at base; M2 and M3 connate at base; M3 and CuA1 stalked for 1/2, sometimes fro 2/3 length. Hindwing pale yellowish brown; apex acute; M3 and CuA1 stalked mesially, sometimes near basal 1/3 length; fringe golden brown. Hind tibia with dark brown hairlike setae preapically. Male genitalia ( Figs. 12, 12 a). Uncus with clavate apex, somewhat rounded. Gnathos strongly bent downwardly. Valva foot-shaped, costa gently concave mesially. Juxta with heavily sclerotized, crescent-shaped median flap; flap often concealed on slide-mounts (see Fig. 12 ). Lateral lobe of juxta digitate, serrate preapically on outer margin. Aedeagus with a pair of cornuti: longer one spine-shaped, slender, about 1/3 length of aedeagus; shorter one with large round plate basally, with few spines. Female genitalia ( Fig. 16 ). Eighth sternum deeply emarginate at middle. Apophysis anterioris very short. Antrum poorly defined. Ductus bursae broad, with heavily sclerotized plates of variable shape in distal half. Corpus bursae ovate; signum elliptical, a heavily sclerotized plate with many spinules on surface, shorter than 1/4 length of corpus bursa. Distribution. Vietnam (North). Etymology. The species name is derived from the geographic locality of four of the paratypes , Ba Be, Vietnam .
