Triommatodes padrina is a dull grey colour sprinkled with sparse brown scales. The wings are crossed by thin beige grey lines bordered with dark brown markings. On the fore wings there is a dark brown basal spot and a thin beige grey median line bordered with dark brown on both sides. Then, there is a thin beige grey postmedial line, bordered on both sides with dark brown on half of the wing close to the costal edge. This line draws a curve at the back of the dark brown renal spot which is a relatively large size. The costal edge is then dark brown and marked with four light coloured dots. There is a dark brown subapical spot and one raw of small black submarginal dots. |

I have shot this picture at Roura, at Camps Patawa, during a light trap night session. You need to take this identification with caution as I have only found one picture of this species and I have no information about the accuracy of the associated information. Furthermore I am lacking information about the other similar species with a possible confusion. |
