Distribution. China( Anhui, Fujian, Hainan, Jiangsu, Zheijiang), Laos* ( Attapeu, Khammouan), Thailand* ( Nakhon Si Thammarat, Satun, Surat Thani).
Remarks.This species was until now treated as a subspecies of T. sibylla( Smith, 1857)from Borneo and Indonesia. Females can readily be separated from T. sibyllaand T. pendleburyi(Pagden, 1934)from peninsular Malaysiabecause those species lack the interrupted band of golden setae at the T2 apex.
