Diagnosis. The new species is similar to T. acropercna Meyrick, 1922 . It can be distinguished in the male genitalia by the triangular sacculus, the absence of a juxta, and the aedeagus with two large teeth near the base. In T. acropercna , the sacculus is indistinct, the juxta is present, and the aedeagus bears one large tooth near the base ( Moriuti 1971: 233, fig. 1).
Description. Adult ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 1–6 ). Wingspan 16.5 mm.
Head white, with appressed scales on frons. Antenna with scape pale yellow; flagellum white, ringed with yellow. Labial palpus pale yellow.
Thorax white. Forewing white, with dark brown scales; costal margin dark brown from base to basal 1/4, yellowish brown from 1/2 to distal 1/6; brown stripe oblique upward from middle of dorsum to fold; brown speckle formed by dense brown scales diffused from distal 1/4 of dorsum to tornus, reaching fold anteriorly; fringe ochreous yellow. Hindwing pale grey, tinged with pale yellow, darkened distally; fringe white at base of costal margin and dorsum, grey around apex and along termen. Legs white, with dark brown scales; spurs and tarsi mixed with yellowish brown; hind tibia terminally with a black dot on outer surface.
Male genitalia ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 11–14 ). Uncus produced posteromedially. Socius relatively short, extending obliquely outward, with a thorn at apex. Subscaphium slender, narrowed anteriorly. Ventral plate of gnathos small, tongue-shaped, weakly sclerotized. Valva wide at base, narrowed to obtusely rounded apex; costa narrow, banded, convex near base; dorsoproximal process quadrate; inner process elongate, gradually narrowed toward tip; basal plate triangular, extending from inner corner of dorsoproximal process to below basal 1/6 of costa. Sacculus small, triangular. Saccus with posterior 1/3 V-shaped, anterior 2/3 rod-shaped, slightly narrowed to obtusely rounded apex. Aedeagus 1.2 times length of saccus, with two large teeth near base, with a row of many small teeth from beyond second large teeth to apex.
Female unknown.
Distribution. China (Yunnan).
Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin magni - and dentalis, referring to the two large teeth near the base of the aedeagus.
