Material examined . North East India , MIZORAM , Hrangchalkawn , 1 ♂ , 02.x.2013 (8933/H10), Mamit, 1 ♀ , 09.ix.2016 (8934/H10) ; SIKKIM , Deorali , 1 ♂ , 18.ix.2014 (8935/H10), R . Ranjan leg. Diagnosis: Morphologically, T. conjuncta can be diagnosed from its congeners by the forewing having well defined white spots on a dark greenish ground colour (in most of the other Termioptycha , the maculation of central area of the forewing is in form of an irregular Y shaped mark which may be whitish or densely scaled with black). T. conjuncta is further diagnosed by the specific shape of labial palp in males. In male genitalia, juxta is concaved anteriorly with V shaped cavity, and U shaped posteriorly, each side of lateral margin having a long clavate process with sparse setae apically and in female genitalia corpus bursae having a pair of almost equally sized rounded signa. Distribution: Indian records: Meghalaya , Khasias [Khasi Hills] ( Warren 1896 ), India ( Rong et al . 2017 ), Mizoram , Sikkim (present study). Global records: China , Taiwan , Borneo ( Rong et al . 2017 ).
