Diagnosis. Adult (Figs. 17–20). Wingspan 47–58 mm. We identified two examined specimens from Sulawesi (Figs. 19, 20) as T. sericea hawkeri by comparison with photograph of the paratype (Fig. 17).

The male genitalia of the specimen from Sulawesi (Fig. 49) does not differ from Indian specimen (Fig. 46).
