Figs 19 A, B , 21 B

Comments.

Known only from the holotype female from the southerly island of Hainan. It differs from T. albilateralis which also has contiguous black markings on TT 1–5 in that the whitish anterolateral areas of the tergites are distinctly smaller (Fig. 21 B cf. 21 A), and the fore wing vein 1 cu-a is virtually interstitial.
