Closely resembles T. spinosa and T. expansa
in having uniform infuscation of the forewings (basally hyaline in T.
copelandi, T. kiplingi, and T. roberti); distinguished
from T. spinosa and T. expansa by having the ventral malar
space, immediately adjacent to the mandibular base, gently shagreened
(distinctly striate in the latter two species). |
