Distribution. China (Jiangxi, Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Yunnan), India, N. E. Himalaya.

Remarks. Chu & Wang (1988) described T. flava sinica based on five males and one female, which they designated as the holotype, allotype and four paratypes. However only the holotype and two paratypes can be found in the collection of IZCAS at present. The rest of the type series is missing. The external features of T. flava sinica are identical to those of T. flava flava . Its male genitalia are also identical to those of T. flava flava based on figures in Watson (1957). The type localities of T. flava sinica (Jiangxi and Hainan Provinces, China) are partly sympatric with those of T. flava flava in China (Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi and Yunnan Provinces). We accordingly sink T. flava sinica in T. flava flava .
