n. sp.
Male
(
Figs 253–258
)
Diagnosis.
Central sclerite of hypandrium with two well sclerotized, pointed, postero-lateral processes, and a bilobed, wide median posterior process (
Fig. 257
); phallosome Y-shaped anteriorly, with side struts stout; anterior endophallic sclerites with inner arms straight, slender and distally acuminate; outer arms bow-shaped. Mesal sclerite X-shaped, with arms acuminate; anterior ones shorter than the posterior ones (
Fig. 258
). External parameres distally wide, bearing pores, with the outer border sclerotized, rugose. It belongs in a group that includes

,
T. bubuae
n. sp.
,
T. garciamarquezi

T. rugosa

, differing from them in details of the hypandrium, phallosome and forewing pigmentation pattern.
Color
(in 80% ethanol). Body pale brown. Compound eyes brown; ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents. Head pattern (
Fig. 255
); postclypeus brown, with dark brown V-shaped area; genae dark brown; antennae brown, flagellomeres distally creamy; maxillary palps pale brown, Mx4 dark brown, Mx2 and Mx3 distally dark brown. Thorax brown, tergal lobes of meso- and metathorax with cream spots. Tibiae and tarsi pale brown, coxae, trochanters and femora cream, coxae with two brown spots, basally and apically; femora with three to four brown spots, basal, middle and apical, two median on posterior femora. Forewing pattern (
Fig. 253
), pterostigma with proximal and distal dark brown bands. Abdomen pale cream. Hypandrium brown, clunium, paraprocts and epiproct pale brown; phallosome dark brown.
Morphology.
As in diagnosis, plus the following: Head (
Fig. 255
): H/MxW: 1.64; H/D: 2.25, IO/MxW: 0.53, MxW/IO: 3.03. Vertex slightly emarginate, slightly below the level of the compound eyes. Outer cusp of lacinial tips broad, with four broad denticles. Mx4/Mx2: 1.31. Forewings (
Fig. 253
): L/W: 2.58, pterostigma: lp/wp: 4.19; areola postica high, la/ha: 2.09, distal part of Cu1a with gentle concavity. Hindwings (
Fig. 254
): l/w: 3.03. Hypandrium (
Fig. 257
), side sclerites small, projected posteriorly. Phallosome (
Fig. 258
). Paraprocts oval (
Fig. 256
), with abundant medium and short setae in the apical third; with a macroseta near each sensory field, another near the outer margin of the apical third; sensory fields with 24 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct wide, semioval, with widely rounded apex (
Fig. 256
), with mesal field of three macrosetae, some medium sized setae lateral to these, posterior margin with a field of small setae.
