Diagnosis.
Adult (
Fig. 8
) wingspan 27.0–29.0 mm. This species is characterized by the forewing with a rounded white patch at middle of the termen. It is similar to
T. margarita
in the forewing pattern by having a white median area.
Termioptycha albifurcalis
can be distinguished in the male genitalia by the gnathos without setae, and the valva with a triangular process at basal 1/3 below costa (
Fig. 18
); and in the female genitalia by the long uniformly narrow antrum (
Fig. 25
). In
T. margarita
, the gnathos bears dense setae on lateral arms, and the valva has no triangular process at basal 1/3 below costa (
Fig. 21
); and the antrum is broad U-shaped in posterior half and inverted triangular in anterior half (
Fig. 27
).
