Diagnosis.
This species has an unusual forewing shape: the terminal half of the costa is strongly bowed inwards, the apex is not strongly falcate but the outer margin below it is deeply concave and then distinctly arched. These features are to some extent resemble those of
T. thermopasta
, but are stronger. On the forewing, there is an orange shadow extending from the apex to outer one third of the inner margin, and there are two white patches ringed by brown lines on the base of M
3
and CuA
1
. This species is close to
T. rubromarginata
in the male genitalia, but differs from it by the small and triangular socii, which are digitiform and large in
T. rubromarginata
.
