. Unfortunately, the holotype has lost its hindwings and abdomen. The late G. Robinson had therefore dissected a male specimen identified as ceratella in the Meyrick collection, collected in Koni, Burma. Tuck kindly compared our illustrations of
|

<normalizedToken originalValue="Robinson’s">Robinson's</normalizedToken>

dissection the valva is slightly larger and therefore extends further laterally and has five strong spines, whereas our illustration shows a relatively short valva with only 3−4 spines on each.

There are many tineid species showing small differences in genitalia, but they can usually be recognized by the external morphology, such as forewing pattern and venation (eg. species of
|
||
<taxonomicName class="Insecta" family="Tineidae" genus="Monopis" higherTaxonomySource="CoL" kingdom="Animalia" lsidName="Monopis" order="Lepidoptera" pageId="6" pageNumber="115" phylum="Arthropoda" rank="genus">Monopis</taxonomicName>

). The forewing pattern in the new species is quite different from that of
|
||
<taxonomicName class="Insecta" family="Tineidae" genus="Thisizima" higherTaxonomySource="CoL" kingdom="Animalia" lsidName="Thisizima ceratella" order="Lepidoptera" pageId="6" pageNumber="115" phylum="Arthropoda" rank="species" species="ceratella">Thisizima ceratella</taxonomicName>
|
||
, and the shape of the valva does have small but distinct difference between the two species, which we regard as sufficient evidence that this is a good species.
