- Distinguishing features. Tamasa caverna n. sp. is most similar to T. doddi (Goding & Froggatt, 1904) and T. burgessi (Distant, 1905) but is easily distinguished from those two species in lacking infuscation at the tips of the fore wings. The male genitalia of T. caverna appear to be unique in having an uncus that is substantially tubular and in lateral view tapers to a bluntly rounded apex and a theca that is straight for most of its length with a trumpet-like apex very finely fluted around its rim.
