3.1. Etymologie (Namenserklärung)
Knyazev (2025: 583) erklärt: "The specific name derived from Turkmenistan, the country where the new species is described from."
3.2. Taxonomie und Faunistik
Knyazev (2025: 581-582) diskutiert die bisher beschriebenen Triodia-Arten und stellt dann fest: "A series of specimens belonging to none of the known species was found in the collection of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg." Die neue Art gehört wohl in die nächste Verwandtschaft von Triodia laeta aus dem Kaukasus. Sie stamt aus dem Südwesten Turkmenistans (Kopet-Dag-Berge) und wurde schon lange vor 1900 gesammelt.
Der Autor merkt an: "Considering the climatic preferences of Ghost moths in general and the genus Triodia in particular, we can say that they prefer warm and humid habitats. The described species Triodia turkmenica confirms this concept, as it was collected in the warm and humid Aidere gorge, in contrast to the dry Kopetdag mountains. It is necessary to search for possible new species in similar landscapes of other mountain systems in Middle Asia such as the Pamirs and Tien Shan."
