Diagnosis. T. pars is closely related to T. discrepans, but has large differences in both the male and female genitalia. Superficially, the two species are very similar, but in T. pars the subterminal line is narrower and broken. Both species belong in the artus species-group. In the male gfenitalia T. pars is always recognizable by the prominent sickle-like structure inside on the right ampulla. Wingspan: 10–11 mm. Forewing beige, with large, apical, black, triangular patch on forewing; hindwing dark grey, with discal spot. Male genitalia asymmetrical, right valva shortest; ampullae asymmetrical, broad and wide; right ampulla with prominent sickle-like process; juxta circular, with deep dorsal cleft; phallus with tapered, short, coecum; phallus tapers, S-shaped. Female genitalia with ostium positioned posteriorly on 8th abdominal segment, displaced to left; antrum heavily sclerotised, cylindrical; ductus bursae long and narrow; corpus bursae globular, with cross-shaped signum.

Bionomics. The biotope is a moist mainly broad-leaf forest with bushes and herbaceous plants, close to a river. All specimens are recorded at light in the middle of September. The early stages are unknown. Distribution. (Fig. 30). Thailand, China (Yunnan and Guizhou prov.).
