Diagnosis.
This new species is similar to
T. trigona
Gozmány,
1978
in male genitalia. It can be distinguished by the forewing blackish brown in basal 3/4 and orange white in distal 1/4, in the male genitalia by the sacculus uniformly banded; in
T. trigona
, the forewing is light ocher grey (
Gozmány 1978: 199
), and the sacculus is widened from base to apex (Park
et al
. 2021: 9, fig. 23).
Description.
Adult (
Fig. 12
). Wingspan 15.5 mm.
Head
dark brown, with pale orange scales laterally. Antenna orange white; flagellum ciliate ventrally. Labial palpus with second palpomere orange white on inner surface, dark brown on outer surface; third palpomere orange white dorsally, dark brown ventrally, nearly as long as second palpomere.
Thorax
and tegula blackish brown. Forewing with costal margin slightly arched, apex roundly produced, termen shallowly concave; basal 3/4 blackish brown, outer margin obliquely sinuate; distal 1/4 orange white, mixed with blackish brown scales; discal and plical stigmata black, small; discocellular stigmata black, doubled, small, rounded, narrowly connected; fringe pale orange. Hindwing pale greyish brown; fringe yellowish brown, basal line orange white. Legs pale yellow except all femora and tibiae dark yellowish brown ventrally.
Male genitalia
(
Fig. 30
). Uncus wide at base, distinctly narrowed to basal 1/3, clubbed in distal 2/3, bearing long setae, apex narrowly rounded. Gnathos with basal plate roundly produced posteriorly; mesial process absent. Valva wide at base, constricted mesially; cucullus extending oblique dorsad, about half length of valva, dilated in reniform, apex obtuse, costal margin obtuse, ventral margin arched; costa deeply concave in broad V shape mesially; sacculus uniformly banded, straight ventrally. Vinculum narrow. Juxta shield-shaped, straight on posterior margin, obtuse on anterior margin; posterolateral lobe about 3/4 length of juxta, clubbed except slightly broadened at base, apex rounded and setose. Aedeagus about 3/4 length of valva, gently arched, wide at base, slightly narrowed to obtuse apex, with dense granules in vesica; cornuti consisting of two large needle-like spines, placed before middle, and a bundle of needle-like spines of variable size distally.
Female unknown.

Etymology.
The specific epithet is derived from the Latin
reniformis
, referring to the reniform cucullus in the male genitalia.
