Diagnosis. Coptotriche is characterized by the membranous socii with spinules, the uncus composed of two large subtriangular lateral lobes, the tegumen with a spinous diaphragm, the wide valva, the presence of a transtilla, and a tulip-shaped phallus.

Coptotriche is not distinguishable from other genera in appearance. However, the presence of a transtilla in the male genitalia distinguishes it from other genera in the family Tischeriidae .
