(Figs 287–298)
Diagnosis. Central sclerite of hypandrium convex anteriorly, with postero-lateral, mid sized processes, and median, stout posterior process, bilobed distally; phallosome V-shaped anteriorly, with side struts slender, independent proximally; external parameres distally rounded, sclerotized, with a field of short spines; anterior pair of endophallic sclerites with stout inner arms, wider anteriorly, a central stem flanked by processes; outer arms arising from the central stem, pedicellate, each arm distally dilated to form a broadly elliptic, rugose body; mesal sclerite W-shaped, with anterior arms long, slender, and posterior arms stout, obtusely concave distally; posterior sclerites transverse, slender, each bearing an acuminate process medially on posterior border (Fig. 292). Belonging in the species assemblage mentioned above, in the diagnosis of T. pericosensis n. sp.
Male. Color (in 80% ethanol). Body dark brown, with cream spots. Head pattern (Fig. 289). Compound eyes black, ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents. Maxillary palps brown, Mx4 with apical third dark brown. Tergal lobes of meso- and metathorax dark brown; pleura dark brown, with cream spots. Fore- coxae brown, with small dark spot on base and apex; middle and hind- coxae cream, with small brown spot on base and apex; trochanters cream; femora pale cream, with proximal and apical brown band in mid and hind- legs; tibiae brown, distally more pigmented; tarsi 1 brown, tarsi 2–3 dark brown. Forewing pattern (Fig. 287). Pterostigma with proximal and distal brown bands; a brown submarginal band from R4+5 to Cu1a. Hindwings (Fig. 288). Abdomen dark brown, with cream areas; hypandrium pale brown; phallosome dark brown.
