Diagnosis. This species is similar to T. lunulata Butler ( Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Australia) on both the wing pattern and the male genitalic features. It is different from the latter in the male genitalia as follows: the inner branch of the uncus is of similar width to the outer one, the saccus is long and narrow, the anellus becomes acute suddenly and with two small lateral processes on the posterior end; while in T. lunulata the inner branch of the uncus is much broader than the outer one, the saccus is triangular, the anellus is gradually pointed on the posterior end and without the lateral processes.

Distribution. China, India, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia.
