There is some resemblance to T. flavissimus Ricardo of Ceylon which is a much larger insect, and has more slender, shorter, antennal plate, and wings with spur veins and no apical shadow. Resemblance to some yellow Cydistomryia is apparent, but the setulose subepaulets here are distinctive. Description (holotype female).-Length, 11.5 mm. Eyes (relaxed) green.
