DIagnosIs. Wing expanse 25 mm. Thliptoceras fulvimargo View in CoL is similar and closely related to T. bisulciforme sp. nov. with smoky fuscous wings with obscured pattern elements in the male, but it can be distinguished by its smaller wing expanse (23 mm), a differently modified antennal base in the male with a long scape, a much deeper transverse groove at base of flagellum flanked on both sides by scale ridges, and a less expanded and curved sinus. In the male genitalia the valva is much narrower with a weakly concave, simple costa without process and excavation, the editum is sharply bent dorsad at almost a right angle, the sacculus process does not reach to costa, the anellus is amorphous and membranous, and the aedeagus has spine-shaped cornuti arranged in three groups.
