Diagnosis.

This species is similar to T. paralias , but the frons is less protruded than in T. paralias and the postmedial line of the hindwing is close to the medial line in T. comptaria , while it is far from the medial line in T. paralias . In the male genitalia, the arms between the valvula and the sacculus are symmetrical in T. comptaria , but these are asymmetrical in T. paralias and the right arm is slightly angled terminally; the sacculus is longer than the valvula in T. comptaria , while it is shorter than the valvula in T. paralias ; the apex of the aedeagus is curved in T. comptaria , but it is straight in T. paralias ; the cornutus is composed of one sclerotized stripe in T. comptaria , while in T. paralias , two sclerotized stripes are present on the vesica of T. paralias . The seventh sternite is slightly concave in the middle of the posterior margin in T. comptaria , but it is produced in T. paralias ; in the female genitalia, the colliculum is absent in T. comptaria , while it is short funnel-shaped in T. paralias ( Kaila and Albrecht 1994: fig. 17).
